My photo and quote on BBC Breakfast

Fancy a Cuppa

I emailed BBC Breakfast yesterday, as they were discussing about planting a 1000 trees in the National Forest as part of a new initiative, called the #BreakfastWoodland. Last week was the 5th anniversary of Helen aka Big Bird passing away, and as she loved trees I went out to Trosley in Kent to remember her; it’s where we used to walk as a family when I was younger. I took some photos whilst there and emailed a couple to BBC Breakfast.

The producer emailed me back, asking if I’d be available for interview today, which I couldn’t do, so they asked if they could use my photo and quote, which I was happy with.

You can see it here on their Facebook page - photo and quote is 29secs in.

(The photo is of a viewpoint at Trosley, looking out over the Pilgrims Way towards the North Downs in Kent.)

I’m a bit chuffed to have been included in their montage. :slight_smile:

Thanks @DaisyWings and @plumporridge - I wasn’t even using my DSLR - this was with my iPhone! Just caught it at the right time with the lighting I think.

It was lovely for my parents, twin sister, brother and other family members to see it too. Helen may be gone but her memory is very much alive.
