Dateline: Tuesday 21 September 2021

Hi today is a crisp late summer day here in North Devon and I have been out and about – it feels like autumn is just around the corner.

My car has now been serviced and MOT need and the bill will arrive with me soon.

So today I feel that I want to give you just a little insight regarding some of the work I do……

One of my earliest productions (Musical Director)

I am a therapist, life coach and musician on my own account 

But professionally.....

For many years I have been involved in the entertainment industry – playing in bands, broadcasting, and for the past 20 years or so I have been a senior member of a team in a company that provides theatrical drapes and backdrops plus lighting effects to the World’s entertainment industry

Working with this company has enabled me to experience places that I could only dream off as a child and meeting people that I have only been able to admire from afar.

However I still remember the words that my Dad said to me when I was a teenager and I had expressed my ambition to work in the world of entertainment

He came out with the following statement that made me even more determined to set my sights firmly on proving him wrong.....

He said:-

"Nobody ever made £1 million honestly working in the entertainment industry!"

As it turns out I have still to become a millionaire, but the company I work with is £1 million plus company, I have friends who are “stars“ in the entertainment world and I have been fortunate enough to visit places with my work, that dad could only ever have dreamed of!

So “yes dad!” people can (and do) make £1 million honestly in the entertainment industry!

But I love you all the same!

06/09/21 My Ideal Day

Hi and welcome I hope that you have had a wonderful weekend - I know that I have!   So I thought having had such a great time I would devise a list of things that make up my ideal day! I wake up naturally and take my time preparing to greet the day ahead. I visit the bathroom, wash and clean teeth and spend 5 minutes in contemplation I dress and make a cup of coffee then  I write both my journal and my gratitude list  I visit my to do list and start working towards completing the things I have to do I clean my cameras ready for the photo shoot(s) that are booked I write any emails that I need to send    and read over my blog notes / planner    and having done this I start writing the new post After I am happy with that it is time to have lunch and then say bye to Alison if she is not coming with me. I (or We) leave the house and choose which vehicle we will use - if it is a country shoot we will probably take the Range Rover but if it is a town / city ...
