Halfway through my birthday cup of tea, I saw a Tweet from Andy Howard, a BBC Radio Bristol reporter. "Who's got the best view in the west?" he asked. "Me, akshly," I replied.
Next thing you know there's a van outside with a rapidly-expanding aerial reaching up to roof level.
"I've got to be on air in four minutes!" said Andy.
"Better dash then", I said.
Wot larx. They should do them all up there.
ReplyDeleteLucky you living in a house like that!
ReplyDeleteYes, I remember being up on that roof with you one icy evening in December 2009. I hate heights, but was emboldened beyond reason by your damson vodka, and somehow managed the vertical ladder, the overhang at the hatchway, and then coped with the knowledge that if I tripped or slid over the roof edge my blogging career would be permanently cut short! It was an amazing view, though.

Brilliant picture. Hope he wished you a Happy Birthday on air.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday.
I didn't mention it, Anji! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteGood plan, Deb. I could do cream teas too!
Thanks, Lucy!
Yes, Gwynneth, a good place to live. On summer nights I sleep out here sometimes; get to see all sorts of stuff in the sky. Well, stars planets and space stations anyway.
Fame and a birthday. Congratulations on them both. :)
ReplyDeletethank you, Bella!
