Been putting together some special guest editor shows for Monday. Tutu is a powerhouse of a woman - looking after her community in Reading. So pleased she could kick off this great project.
Great show with Tutu from @EthiopianTable taking the reigns as my first guest editor. Everything from having a better old age, why we shouldn't be scared of the kids in the park and her love of Strictly! @bbcberkshire - Listen here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0kbhn…

So a short while ago, our big scary breakfast boss @kathbett asked me to write a @BBCBerkshire panto… and episode one drops around 8.40am tomorrow on the show, featuring me, @philmercer, @katieptyler, @RealKirstOBrien and so many more! 🎭

4-10am yesterday morning were some of the quickest 6 hours of my life. Happy to be producing @RealKirstOBrien to share @BBCBerkshire 's election results with an incredible early morning team.
What did you do at work this week..?
Using gravy for fake tan?
After @ClaudiaWinkle revealed that she had used gravy as an alternative while filming @TheTraitorsUK, @RealKirstOBrien thought she would test this trick out.
It's safe to say she wasn't a fan. ❌

This has been a bit of fun all week, and we ended up with 22 lengths of the River Thames! 😲
A huge thankyou to everyone for your miles - WE DID IT! 🥰
▶️ @BridgitteTT's aim: Ten-Times the length of the Thames for @BBCCiN ... The result: ELEVEN AND THREE QUARTERS times the length of the Thames! 💪 (Total: 2335.15!)

Work and life got in the way a bit, but we're now actually back with another episode of The Run In - and I've managed to edit it before WOC starts...
We're back (finally!) with another podcast!
Featuring Alice Leake, who's just announced her retirement, new host @NathanLawson97 joins Katherine to preview the @orienteeringWOC in Switzerland.
9 athletes selected for this year's World Champs. Congrats to those who did the tricky job of making the list. 🎉

I was glued to the live results for those selection races in Switzerland, and there's still time for all the athletes to fine-tune their racing and navigation.
Lots of people ask me how orienteering works on TV. Hopefully (alongside Google translate) this can provide an answer: dn.se/sport/dronare-och-skug…
Been a fab sunny afternoon in Windsor with some royals popping in for a visit. @BBCBerkshire #OutsideBroadcast
You know sometimes you regret never telling someone you appreciate them. Well by chance I bumped into my old PE teacher out shopping today. She was the only decent PE teacher at the school and really cared about getting girls into PE... 1/
I'm so glad I could tell her that I could feel she was trying to fight the system. She didn't feel like she was a good teacher, but she was one of the best I'd had in any subject. I'm so glad she's still teaching PE, only now not in a mainstream school. 3/
