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.
Brought up in Stockton-on-Tees, went to Sheffield University to study Architecture and ended up with a degree in English. Took a secretarial course and worked in an Architect's office hoping to put myself through art school. Met Graham, married and moved to Saudi Arabia (where I was PA to a Government Minister), then Iraq (I did a correspondence course in Interior Design to fill up the time), then Hong Kong. Our two boys were born there and I worked as a freelance graphic designer. Back to UK (Englefield Green) in 1997, did MA and PhD at Royal Holloway, London University (a hop and a skip down the road). Moved to Kent 2003. The rest is history.
