This morning I pulled my curtains to find a four-piece camera crew filming in the backyard. Richard Fortey (my cousin's husband) is a paleontologist at the Natural History Museum in London and has written numerous books. He specialises in all things trilobite related, but has also written a rather humorous book titled Dry Store Room No.1: The Secret Life of the Natural History Museum. I am part way through and it's a definite must for all that work in museums - can see cultural similarities even though we're hemispheres apart.
Anyway, after appearing in David Attenborough's latest series First Life the BBC have commissioned him to film a series to complement his latest book Survivors which I have been helping out with picture research for. Just one of the many exciting things happening in Henley!
