Searching for sunshine

Another day out filming for the Film Festival (http://www.mountainfest.co.uk/) on Monday. The rain died away and we had a beautiful sunny afternoon filming near Newby Bridge. Since then been back in editing, and hiding from the rain. Did manage to have a sunny early morning stroll yesterday though, to a second BNI meeting (http://www.bnikendal.co.uk/) – felt slightly more alert at this one!

A film with a view

Yesterday we were filming in an absolutely stunning location – Helvellyn (the third highest mountain in England after Scafell Pike and Scafell). We are currently working on a project for the Kendal Mountain Film Festival (www.mountainfest.co.uk) so have already hiked up there with all the camera kit twice this month. I’ll be very fit by the end of the summer that’s for sure! We’ll tell you more about our project at a later date…….

Early starters

Today I had a chance to take in the early morning air as I headed over to the Riverside Hotel for the Business Networking International (BNI) Kendal chapter meeting: www.bni-north.com

It was a very early start but there was coffee aplenty, lots of friendly faces and some interesting business advice shared around the table. My thanks to Evsie (www.grenville-evans.co.uk) for inviting me.

It's all about networking

Over the last week we have been out and about meeting other local business-people. Last Thursday Kat attended the Lakeland Businesswomen’s Network (www.lbn.org.uk) – a lovely bunch of women all doing really well for themselves here in Cumbria. Last night we attended a Chamber of Commerce networking event at a local Indian restaurant. Good food and great conversation! I was fortunate enough to get talking to Evsie, a very entertaining local artist, who drew my portrait for me in a matter of minutes, what a talent: www.grenville-evans.co.uk
