10 years later

Today marks 10 years to the day that I quit Butlins. So much has happed sinced then. I work for the BBC and have a wife and two children.

But even after 10 years people still talk about what it was like back then. It really was the strangest job I have ever done.

BNP on Question Time. Right or Wrong.

As I right this blog large scale protest are happening outside BBC TVC on Wood Lane in London. This is due to the BBC showing the BNP leader, Nick Griffin, on question time.

The prostesters say they want the BBC not to air the program however ate they right.

Yes the BNP are rasist and stupid however they are a freely elected party and, like anyone in the uk, has freedom of speech.

Let's not take anyones human rights away. Not the blacks or the BNP.

The Royal Show (day one)

The first day of the very last Royal Show in Stoneleigh was a bit of a washout really. Thunder and lightening kept people away and the BBC Cov & Wark staff dried out on the bus.

We did broadcast a full show from the bus but numbers where down.

3 more days to go. Hope it's better weather for them.

What a hot day

With sun cap and fully creamed up, Jessica enjoyed playing in the garden with her new sand pit from ELC.

I, on the other hand, was too hot so I spent most of my time inside out of the hot sun.

I hope to have more to say tomorrow when it is a bit cooler.

Jessica takes to Joel

Jessica has taken to her new brother really well. I was a little worried about how she would be hoewever I had nothing to worry about.

Being a big sister has is somthing is somthing that she really enjoys.

Joel may be too small to play with but he is not to small to hold.

Welcome Home

Joel has come home and all is well. Jessica is taking well to being a big sister.

The BBC Bus is back and being used for Big BBC campains.

Over the last week I have been in MK finding out about what it is to be English!

The idea was to sing a new "english" song in Mk, get on a London Routemaster to Luton then by Train to London where the story was told all over again.

My photos are (From MK only) are at workphotos.adrianchenery.co.uk

From MK it was on to Birmingham for St Georges day in the square. A full filled day and loads of people to talk to.

From Scan to 3 points. Not bad

What a week. It started with a visit to the hospital for Margaret to have a scan. The good news is the baby is doing fine and should put in an apperance around the 31st of May. (Befire you ask, No we don't know the sex)

Thursday was a night out to say goodbye to Liam my old boss as he leaves the BBC. Good luck to him.

Then to cap the week Free tickets, Three Goal and Three points at ewood. as Blackburn beat Newcastle 3 - 0. Theres only one BIG SAM.

Back to Work

Well there it is. Another Christmas over. Only 50 weeks to the next one. Hope your Chrismas was a good one.

It's back to work today but the bus isn't going out for a week or so as it's being serviced. Loads to sort out anyway. So I best get going.

Happy New Year

Jessica really enjoyed herself yesterday by rounding off 2008 with a Darwen. There she meet up with Jessica and Olly.

Daddy and Mummy also meet with Danneil and Stu and it was really great to see them too.

Jessica played really hard and then went to Graandma's and Grandad's for more play. On the way we bumped into Unc Andy out shoping.

Anyway it was a great way to end 2008 and here's to a great 2009. Strange isn't it, this time last year I had no idea what job I was going to be doing at the end of the year. Now Im in a great job and Jessica is coming on really well.
