A quick recap from Friday until today…
Friday we worked in Birmingham, again I surprised you by telling you it was raining. ITV 4 met us in downtown Birmingham for the morning news. The newscaster came fully dressed in a 2 piece pink bikini... she was so excited. PROBLEM: the director and camera guy did not think the area inside the Beach on Wheels was big enough and cancelled the shoot. The poor newscaster was devastated; she really wanted to do the piece in her bathing suit. We had our own models so a local photographer took the pictures that were sent to the press. I was later interviewed by the evening news after they received them.
Saturday the Beach on Wheels went back to London for a much needed cleanup.... new sand, cleaned up the mannequins and a lot of Windex. Sunday afternoon I took the train to Norwich, which is about 3 hours Northeast of London. Monday morning we took the Beach on Wheels to the Springboard Nursery School (2 to 4 years old kids). Pictures where taken and sent to the press. It was great. We then drove the Beach on Wheels around Norwich until 5pm and then Damian and I went back to London.
Tuesday morning we met the crew from Gosh (our PR firm) and the Beach on Wheels at Harrods in London. For the next 5 hours we went all around London and its most important landmarks. We got permission to go into Ken Livingstone’s building (Mayor of London), how surprising...he was too busy to come out. We gathered quite a crowd with the live models. The models were great and the photographer, Stuart, was incredible. I drove (not quite used to the steering on the other side yet.... but getting better, only a few close calls with incoming traffic), to Bristol, in the West of the Country.
We started the day at 6am in order to get the people going to work on Baldwin Street, a main commuter road in the downtown area. We picked up food to give away for breakfast. People were coming down from all the buildings around when they saw the Beach on Wheels and the crowd getting free muffins and orange juice.
At 10am we went to the Rosemary Nursery School to have the kids in the Beach on Wheels... accidentally went to the wrong one, St. Nicholas Primary School, but the school principal asked us to stay... so we ended up doing both. It was a good day, loads of people saw the Beach on Wheels and I did an interview with the Bristol Evening Post. I am going to try to send as many pictures as I can. Talk to you tomorrow from Southampton.
