The shoot days were non stop & long, we were up always just before the crack of dawn, a hearty breakfast & off to the showground we'd go, a procession of cars, vans & the two big red shiny Land Rovers a big team & a great team, there were moments it was like being a part of an artist colony, some great characters & everybody got stuck in from the outset each performing their specialised skills to keep the camera's rolling throughout the long days, using all the sunlight hours possible for filming, when I wasn't filming I was searching for pieces for the clients homes, clocking up a five to ten mile walk around the showgrounds throughout each individual day but we did get a well deserved half an hour lunch break with a more than satisfying hot meal with desert to keep our energy levels up for the afternoon sessions. We usually arrived back to the hotel around 7pm or I would drive the long journey home back to sleepy ol Suffolk, with a beaming smile on my face after an exhausting day or two of pure fun & excitement.
I had a marvelous time working with Kirstie & the crews in this series, all the people involved were really cool & they helped me so much especially in the beginning, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment & I felt privileged to be a part of Kirstie's Home Made Homes & the Channel 4 team in such a top quality production, promoting antiques & second hand items & also bringing the green recycling message home, I am a recycler, & it is worth remembering that in most cases it takes no more effort to recycle something than it takes to dispose of something, & it certainly makes one feel good when you do recycle. I have been recycling & restoring furniture & decorative items & everything else in my daily life for almost twenty five years now, it is something very very close to my heart, & something I intend to implement in everyway possible when we start to build the new showrooms next year at the Arts & Crafts Eco Project. www.acecoproject.co.uk
I hope you enjoy the series as much as I did which is being shown every Tuesday evening at 8pm on Channel 4.
I will be adding more to these pages as each series is shown so do come back to the site, & if you have any questions or comments or anything humorous that may spring to the mind then it would be great to hear from you ;)
