Exciting Times

One Friday morning not so long ago I awoke to the sound of an email coming through on my phone, now this in itself could be a cause for celebration as I've been known to sleep through alarm clocks, storms, bit of the house falling off and crashing through the glass ceiling of the veranda! oh yes!!

But on this momentous occasion I picked up my phone to see that I had received an email from someone who wanted to buy these chairs, someone from the BBC, he also wanted me to deliver them asap to the BBC Drama Village in Birmingham.

Well let me tell you I'm not one of these people who hangs around stage doors for autographs - back in the day - or queues to get into things like Britain's got Talent or X Factor (well I did once actually with my daughter, because she had tickets, twice actually, but that's another story). No I'm not one to be dazzled by stardom at all, but this, I have to tell you was such a nice experience.

It was pouring with rain, I had yet another falling out with the lady on the Sat Nav who didn't seem to want to be bothered at all with my request on this day. So I got there under my own steam and an A to Z, (it just has to be a large print one or I can only got to places on the main roads because I can't see to read the small print of the names on the smaller ones!)

Well I got there, then had to find reception to let them know I had arrived, still pouring with rain I stopped to ask directions several times, everyone was so friendly and really helpful, I delivered my chairs to one of the doors of the Doctors set, to yet another friendly and very helpful member of staff.

One of the people I asked directions from was, I realised, a member of the cast of Doctors, the smile on her face said it all, when gradually realisation dawned on me as to who she was.

Well as I said it was a really nice experience and my thanks goes out to everyone who was so kind and helpful inspite of the pouring rain. Needless to say I will be sat in front of the telly every chance I get in the coming months, looking out for my chairs.

Love and Blessings
