Well last week was a bit different to your typical week. Not my usual Thursday at work!
HRH Princess Anne visited Fordhall Hall Farm to help celebrate 20 years of community ownership. She walked around different areas of the farm, meeting guests as she went before unveiling a plaque and visiting the farm shop.
She was amazing! So genuinely interested in the farm, their farming practices and the team. She really took the time to talk to everyone she met.
I was asked to take photos during the visit, along with Oli and Ash. I’ve never been so nervous! I had to stop myself from shaking when she arrived. We had a shot list and a plan between us, but not knowing what to expect and knowing we’d need to keep our distance made it more nerve wrecking!
I felt privileged to have been asked to be part of it. The whole team across Fordhall Farm are dedicated to what they do and everything ran so smoothly. It would never have been any other way!
And one of my photos made it to the paper 🥰. I’m thrilled! This was an impromptu photo as Princess Ann and Charlotte arriving from their farm walk to unveil the commemorative plaque. I love the way they’re both smiling so naturally and walking in unison.
Well done to everyone at Fordhall Farm.
