So there I am now on the cover of the Sunday Times Home supplement. I was in London when my friend Dave text me to say I was on the cover. I stopped breathing for quite a while. QUITE a while. The Sunday Times is something of a bible type situation for me. We’ve been buying it in every household I’ve lived in for as long as my memory can remember.

Anyway, back to the start of the story - this was a group shoot we did for the Oxfam project, organised by the lovely Dara Flynn (who not only writes for the Sunday Times, is editor of House and Home magazine but also upcycled a piece for the project.) The photographer, Brian Meade was in great form and we had a bit of fun when trying to do some kind of ‘different’ pose with a chair. The shot on the cover was following Brian’s direction of ‘You’re the 50 foot woman! You’re knocking down buildings!’ etc… Of course, I always forget people will actually see the result of leaping about chairs for photos, but I think he did a pretty cool job - it’s certainly different anyway,and I do like different! Absolutely amazing coverage for this worthwhile project - you can still bid on the pieces >here< Please do forward that link on to anyone you think may be interested - it’s all for a good cause!

Once again - a huge thank you to Dara Flynn, the Sunday Times, Brian Meade and Oxfam of course for asking me to take part.
