I find it strange when significant childhood films come around again and still make me sit up and smile, I can't help it they make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Lets count them ... Star Wars, Spiderman, King Kong and ...

The media is really interested in itself and Vik and I are in London to promote the 'The Convent" programme on BBC Breakfast. The night before we travel on the Tube in search of non wheat and dairy food.

The Music is from our American friends The Troubadours of Divine Bliss "Holy Now" from "Off The Cuff-Live At The Winchester" Album

As the transmission of The Convent approaches (June 14th, BBC2 9pm), we thought it would be fun to share with you again those initial nervous thoughts, as I prepared for the journey.

As the transmission of The Convent approaches (June 14th, BBC2 9pm), we thought it would be fun to share with you again those initial nervous thoughts, as I prepared for the journey. When this was filmed, I still didn't know where I was going to or what the programme would entail. Over the next 5 weeks, we will be posting up more vlogs here and also extracts from my 'convent diaries' on www.wildwomenpress.com

So, here it is...the very first Convent Vlog - enjoy!

We went on a trip to Brantwood to view the gardens and have tea and cake. But the gardens were in full bloom attracting all kinds of interest.

My brother Rob invited me to an airsoft game based around the film "We were soldiers". A fun day of shooting and geeking over guns and uniform, strange indeed! I took the camera and shot a different target.

Today turned out to be just like a short film ... after weeks of rain and hail (even a little sleet in the morning), we were blessed with lovely afternoon sun. Everyone was outside enjoying brightness, I videoed it all - sky, the cat (Boudica), rain puddles and daily routines. It reminded me this is what it is all about chopping wood, carrying water.
