This week has been mad already and we are only halfway through.
On Monday I had an email from an International TV Channel in Shanghai. They wanted information about our trip as they cover international stories and think they will cover our visit!
Yesterday I had a call from a news agency in the South West asking the same thing!
The Chinese connection came from an email I sent many weeks ago to the British Consul in Shanghai. Rob (Brett) had suggested they might be interested and although they did not respond they clearly have not ignored my email.
Sending emails with attachments to Shanghai has proved tricky, they lingered in my outbox for a day or two but they decided to go this morning so we will have to see what they make of all the stuff I sent them.
The news agency here have prepared a news release that they will put out on Monday after we have gone so look out for stuff about our trip in the papers.
They contacted us through the First Great Western Company who gave us free first class tickets from Southampton to Cardiff and from Cardiff to London and the train company want some publicity!
Apparently they will be in Barry to see us off!
It is interesting how over many months now people have said to us "this is a really good story why don't you tell the media" We have not done so because we shied away from taking the professional video camera we were offered and have not thought any more about it till now.
