We're in the Townswoman today, so I thought I'd put up a picture of our business fairy reading our own TG Times. It's one of the photos we had taken in the garden recently. I've been sending them off with various press releases, as everyone says it's never too early to start telling people what we're doing, especially as the WI are starting to get publicity for their million pound record deal. Huh! Who needs that!

We wouldn't say no, I suppose, but never mind, we're Townswomen doing it for themselves!

Our photo shoot went well. although having it on one of the hottest days of the year wasn't exactly brilliant! We got some really great shots, albeit not very Christmassy, and despite the fairies getting up to their usual mischief . As you can see here I had to drag the flower fairy out of the flower bed on more than one occassion, and a certain fairy had her nose in her newspaper the whole time. The end results were pretty good though, and I did manage a snuggle up to Santa too, although the poor chap was a bit hot in his lovely red suit. I think he'll be very glad to get back to sleep until the autumn!

Fairy lights up Bath! Well, one little part of it anyway. Here's a small preview, with some of the fairy lights, some of the cast and our lovely Santa. It was a bit flat the next couple of days after filming, not to mention a bit weird with all the lights and decorations that took a few days to sort out. But now we're looking forward and planning marketing , ready for a big launch later in the year.

It's a wrap! Filming day is over. Can't really believe it, after all these months of preparation. All over and done with so quickly. It was a great day though, we had a lot of fun, and everything went very well, with no problems. This is a shot of the crew, taking a very well-earned break from fairyland. The house has been decorated and lit with fairylights for five days now, we're getting to like it and will miss them when they finally go. I haven't the energy to take them down tonight!

It's a great feeling though.

Here are our trusty sound guys, Alan and Andy. They've been very patient and encouraging, and recorded all of us. The second session was tonight. Now they have the tricky job of putting it all together and making us sound brilliant!

What's this, a Christmas tree in the house in June? Yes, the decorations are going up for the video filming on Tuesday. We actually have to start tonight filming a few shots of Betty as she can't make it on Tuesday. So Christmas will be here for a few days yet!

Dress rehearsal ( almost) today, lots of laughing , a bit of dancing and some singing, a very amused and confused press photographer and a flock of fabulous funky feminine fairies. ( It's a pity pink doesn't begin with F because we are very, very pink!)

Here's the first public sighting of the terrific TG Treetoppers.
