I'm the worlds least frequent blogger

I blame the people who hire me, I'm so busy right now I don't have enough time to write about it.

I've had a few things on air recently that I even forgot to tell my mum about, she'll be furious when she finds out!

I spent a month over the Summer in London working for NBC on a little local event called London 2012 you may have seen some of it covered in the news, I think it was featured a couple of times. It was good to catch up with all my American friends who I only see every couple of years on events like that, I also worked with the poshest man in the world (and that's official, you can check) Ben Fogle, we shot Ben doing  various daft things, including cycling, cricket, canoeing and various other stuff I can't find links for! I was lucky enough to get a trackside spot to watch the mens 200 metre final, and benefited from a fully stocked free canteen for a month, remember folks, I get paid for this, and I did rubbish at school!

More recently, I worked on the current series of George Clarke's Amazing Spaces courtesy of my good friend Tim Pitot who was otherwise engaged for some of the series, so I filled his shoes. Continuing that theme, I've been working with Richard Ranken on Grand Designs. To get over the Winter Blues, what could be better than a week on Tenerife, well, how about a week on Tenerife with Angela Rippon, Gloria Hunniford and Julia Somerville, you're right, it was of course for the new series of Rip Off Britain we shot the links over a week, the weather was great, the company was good, what more could you want. The Cameraman was Ian Salvage who I hadn't worked with before, but hopefully I'll be seeing again soon.

There's loads more to tell you, but I'll stop now before you get bored......
