BBC Countryfile Presenter Adam Henson opens Bishops Cleeve Anaerobic Digester

As a PR Photographer in Gloucestershire I get to meet lots of people and quite a few TV personalities. But it's always a special pleasure to work with BBC Countryfile's Adam Henson, I've worked with him on jobs for one of my regular clients Countrywide .

Yesterday he was opening a new anaerobic digester near Cheltenham for local company  Andigestion Ltd, I also got to meet Norman Grundon who is the chap who owns all the Grundon lorries that we see up and down the country.

The pothole killer.

 Gloucestershire Highways booked me to photograph their new weapon against potholes. They are on the way to filling in an additional 22,000 potholes by the end of this year, thanks to six extra ‘find and fix’ gangs and the use of a ‘JetPatcher’. The JetPatcher machine blasts out hot road material at high speed to deliver a suitable repair in double quick time.



Phil Vickery MBE

I had the pleasure of photographing Phil Vickery when he visited one of my clients showroom . We spent some time discussing his mashed up ears, apparently when a rugby player has them operated on to look better, they don't work as well. The body adapts to interpret
sound with the damaged shape and struggles to adapt if the shape is suddenly changed, so Phil is sticking with his. I wish I did a close up pic now, but he would have thought that was a bit weird.
