Magnificent Morris Minor Moments

Today started bright and early, and the weather was decent too. We packed the car and tootled round to Garry and Cheryl Steele's house where their black Morris Minor, beautifully shiny, was perkily awaiting its outing. Unfortunately Garry wasn't feeling too well so his fellow Morris Minor Mates, Roger Buck and Sandy Hamilton, had agreed to be the stars of the show. And what stars they were - suitably dressed in shirt and tie, blazers, tweed jackets and with a vast array of headgear - charming, affable, ready for any challenge and all conducted with happy smiling faces. We had a fabulous morning, although I was a trifle worried when Charles decided to film whilst sitting on the back of the moving car, and the camera didn't appreciate the huge splash as the pair drove fast through the ford (but it looks great on film!). Charles got some wonderful footage, just a shame we haven't space for more in the final film.
Returned to Film Farm, Libby changed into her black garb, out again to film her speaking to camera.
Returned to Film Farm to grab a bite to eat and discovered Pepper had left Charles a little present - a mouse carefully deposited in his clog!
The morning's filming had then to be logged and processed during which time we both did other necessary tasks. Finally returned to editing, mainly Super 8 stuff.
