Filming for the BBC's 'Escape to the Country'

Just to let you know that I did some filming on Good Friday which will be shown on ‘Escape to the Country’ on BBC TV.

The presenter was Alistair Appleton (pictured left) and the idea was to give Graham, who wishes to move house from St Albans to West Yorkshire, some tuition in dry stone walling.

It was a really wild windy day when we filmed it and hence the filming was so intense I didn’t even get the chance to take any photo’s of the occasion! The lack of time really affected the quality of the tuition and although Graham did admirably in the circumstances, if he wants to learn dry stone walling he should come back on a couple of my proper dry stone walling courses.

Anyway, it was nice to meet Graham, Bronwyn, Alistair and the production crew.

Thanks to Richard Elsworth for allowing us to film on his farm and to Barry Heeley for doing Richard a favour by ploughing up his field when he got his van stuck! (Oh! And for making the tea and generating sarcastic comments at regular intervals!)

The program will be shown sometime in the summer on BBC TV.
