    Thursday, July 14th.

    So, today was great! I was really nervous when we arrived at the BBC studies but everyone was lovely, and the time on air flew by :) DS was giggling away in the back and DH had to occupy him for the majority of the interview, but I suppose that makes us more real :rotfl:

    DH treated us to lunch out afterwards and then we took DS for his first taste of ice cream.

    It's been a lovely day :)

    All sounds wonderful. :) I'm glad it went well for you. Is your eventual aim to give up teaching?

    I enjoyed the interview SF, especially with your little boy giggling in the background :)

    I managed to record it all, so if you need the audio for your blog or something let me know!

    Not at all! I like teaching, but I'm enjoying all this as well :)
