Rolling, Rolling, Rolling....

Fame at last ! I was on duty at the Cheese Rolling on bank holiday monday, and I was interviewed by a German TV crew for a documentary.

The Cheese Rolling is an annual tradition in Gloucestershire, where a group of mad people run off the side of a hill (cliff) chasing a cheese. First to the bottom wins the cheese.

You can see me at about 1.47 minutes in, as I drive in with the ambulance.

We had a busy day, with 55 casualties, 11 of these needing transport to hospital.

First Post !

Welcome to my Blog. I have been thinking about writing a blog for a little while now, not because I have anything important to say, but because occasionally interesting things do happen that I want to make a note of.

I am an ICT Manager for a school in Gloucestershire, and I volunteer part time with St John Ambulance (hence the Blog title). I am married, and have 3 children.

This Blog will be updated regularly (or more likely rarely) with everyday happenings in my life.
