Filming went well and we all got stuck in. The film is being screened in the House of Commons in a couple of weeks so if you're in London and happen to be in government, let us know how we came across :) I had 20 seconds - well that's so ridiculous. I said that you can't fit what we do into 20 seconds! He let me talk for longer but I spoke fast meaning I got the equivalent of 40 seconds. That thing when you have to look at the interviewer, even though he is 6'5'' and it gave me a crick neck. And the part where they make you start by saying your name and spelling it, giving your job title and company and spelling it - well I was exhausted by the end of that challenge and the interview hadn't even started.
Jan and Nikki had a greater challenge, to look consistently busy whilst staying silent so as not to interrupt the interview. Whilst the crew were elsewhere, we whipped up a Devonshire apple traybake and a date flapjack only for them to walk back into an event-free kitchen. Well Quintin the cameraman had plans - could Jan and Nikki repeat the events of the last hour ???!! Well they could...whether they wanted to was a different matter. So out came the bramblies and the peeler. Poor Nikki with a camera up her nose and a sharp knife in her hand. Day to day kitchen life is easy compared to a day being filmed. Oh how we have suddenly developed a new respect for Katie Price and the Osbournes!
In order to continue what we found to work so well during our self care project in Cullompton, we needed a new place to be. So we now have a new hub in the centre of Exeter, on Cathedral Close, where we can meet up, connect people, teach, get busy, hold classes, be creative and have a great time. This time it is not centred around a cafe but it will have the same excellent coffee. We are a social enterprise community interest company.
