I was delighted to welcome the production team from BBC Landward to the workshop recently for a day of filming.

I’m not sure I’ll ever entirely get used to being in front of the camera — that said, it was a real pleasure to spend time with Presenter Shahbaz Majeed, Series Producer Laura Mitchell (who also took on the role of director for the day), and Steven Cassidy, working his quiet magic behind the camera.

It’s always inspiring to see professionals at work. The enthusiasm and patience shown in the pursuit of capturing the right moment were admirable, and it’s easy to see why Landward remains such a well-loved programme. I’m very grateful to have been part of it.

I feature in episode 24 which can be viewed on BBC iPlayer.
