2024 /2025

 Hi D,

I hope all is well.  I seemed to have missed my annual Summer visit to Essex, for whatever reason,  and now the leaves are falling and It’s getting cold again…

I just saw on the web / Linkedin that Paul has a new job, and maybe someone has had a birthday recently via Jackie on Facebook. :)  

I have never known anyone’s birthdays, ever, so its always a nice surprise that everyone remembers mine ;)

After seeing Paul all grown up and wearing a tie / jacket on his profile it reminded me of the one time this year, last week, when I was on a film set in East Grinstead  And persuaded to dress in 1960s clobber for a reenactment of a lecture at Saint Hill where L. Ron. Hubbard/ Scientology is based.  It was freezing and it took all day to get the camera set up and the whole thing was done in less than 30 mins.  but that’s the nature of the business.  I was also in an episode of ‘Slow Horses’ which is an MI5 drama on Apple TV with Gary Oldman as the lead.  This will be screened next summer, so I have no idea how much if any, screen time I will get.  But it was fun to do.  See attached ID card.

Apart from the above, it’s been relatively slow, work-wise,  and I’m luxuriating in having some time to set up my websites and catalogue my work.  

——————————

You may remember that I used to work as the Film Studios Manager for London South Bank University (LSBU) and that one of my colleagues lived in Rochford near you.

Well, I was recently hanging out with him (Tim) at the Ally Pally Fireworks display along with my new Girlfriend  Joanna and he was telling me about his woes with a local builder called:  Darren Piper / Blueberry Build Ltd.

The work has not been done satisfactorily and is all a bit of a mess;  he’s very unhappy and communication seems to have broken down between them.  He has asked me to ask you if you might know any good/reputable builders in the area who could step in and finish the job.  see the attached pdf of his cottage and the extension work already done / and how to rectify (via his architect) the current issues.

Any help would be appreciated.  If you can think of anyone…??

So, I’ve planted about 50 bulbs for springtime and the pots are on the roof, waiting for spring.  It doesn’t look like I will be able to get away to a warmer country again this year but may go and stay with Joanna in the Cotswolds for Xmas.  

I’m heading into Brixton for a Coffee and making plans to go to a concert in Tuffnel Park on Saturday.   Currently waiting on my next job to be be green lit , so fingers crossed.

Say hi to everyone and let me know if John is feeling better.

See ya,

Trevor
