a brush with fame.......(well sort of)!

In the last few weeks my family and I have been on the front cover of the autumn newsletter for The Hospice of St Francis in Berkhamsted and taken part in a photo shoot for the Saracens Rugby team as they're trying to raise £100,000 for the Hospice (to be shown on the big screen at all Saracen's games).

However, today's little brush with fame has made me really laugh.

I had an appointment in Mount Vernon as part of my ongoing sign off for my masectomies this afternoon.  As I walked towards the little outbuilding for my appointment I saw tv cameras through the window.  Oh b****r I said out loud as the automatic doors slid open and there I am standing like a numpty watching Joe Swash (of celebrity bug eating fame) present an old man called Len a truck full of plants as a surprise for all the hard work he'd done for the hospital and hospice.  There was no getting away from the situation.  I was trapped! So whatever Mr Swash was filming, I apologise for the loud sliding door, my fat gawping chops, the squeaky door on the loo (where I tried to escape to) and lastly for walking into you continuity shot outside the main door as I left...........oops!
Well done Len!

  3. Hilarious! Well done on all your fund-raising though and hope all the appointments run smoothly. I was diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma 7 years ago which was followed by a year of chemo and radiotherapy. Thankfully I'm out of remission now and hope it all goes as smoothly as possible for you.
