Nicci Gerrard visits me…….

And so the media circuit starts to ramp up…..…..

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned on my blog that I have a book coming out soon🤔, probably have and forgotten………

It’s called Somebody I use to Know and is out on the 1st February. I received my own copy last week and it was so surreal just to hold it……

Well yesterday, I had the wonderful photographer, Antonio Olmos, and the equally lovely Nicci Gerrard, come to my house for an interview with the Observer.

Antonio arrived first and spent the next hour or so taking photos in the house and out in the village. He has had some amazing assignments all over the world,  2 of which held in my mind. The first was a ‘Landscape of Murder’ project in London and the second was photographing Siberian Tigers, where the silence was so great, you could hear the snow fall………..how amazing……From Siberian Tigers to me🤣 – well I suppose everyone has to take the rough with the smooth……..🤣

Just as we were taking the last ones, Nicci arrived. What an amazing lady. I had no idea that she is responsible for  the wonderful John’s Campaign!

Anyway, we had such a fascinating talk for a couple of hours, talking about my book and beliefs. It felt a very different interview from the norm as it was a two way conversation. I felt comfortable and even though Nicci spent the time frantically writing, you weren’t aware of it as there was so much eye contact. She asked me at the end if I would remember her…..I said no, but I’d remember how nice and kind she;s been. At that moment in time nether could I remember what we’d spoken about……nothing…….so she said I’d have to read her article to find out – ha!. Hope I’d din’t say anything I shouldn’t have 🙄

Can’t wait to read her article due out at the end of the month.

Nicci Gerrard with good old reliable pen and paper…….
