Say YES to London

London, the say yes city.

Tonight I had an enjoyable few hours in the company of a group of travel writers. The meeting came about as one of them is doing a piece on 'tweetovers' in London. Basically asking for tweets to influence his day. My recommendation was taken up but unfortunately the venue was closed (damn you Canada House and your refurbishments!) But by all accounts he had a fabulous day at some of the lesser known locations that London has to offer.

It was inspiring company to be in. All published in their respective fields but all meeting for a common cause tonight, a beer amongst friends in a fine city(venue recommended by twitter users).

I saw courage and persistence and the acceptance that to do the job they loved, they may have to compromise on other aspects of their lives. As I said though, it was a evening of inspiration.

One thing that did inspire me was that they were all very keen and genuinely interested in hearing about my career. I was delighted to tell people about my work when so many dismiss it as 'a bit boring public sector stuff'. I think that as writers, they appreciated the fact that I am working in a field that deeply fascinates me and their interest was very well received.

With a heavy heart I left them in Chinatown but one must work in the morning mustn't one! Actually, I've got a bit to do tonight as I've been tied up filming all day and those pesky journalists don't answe their own enquires.
