Superstar Carmela

It was just brilliant to be able to help seven-year-old Carmela from Wiltshire, her mum Lucy and Oliver Tooley of Blue Poppy Publishing make a success of the launch of their new charity book.

So far they have been on BBC Breakfast TV and featured on ITV West Country, plus local newspapers are in the pipeline.

Carmela lives with muscular dystrophy but has been nicknamed ‘Wonder Girl’ for her fundraising exploits in the costume of her hero Wonder Woman – so far she and mum Lucy have raised more than £50,000 for Muscular Dystrophy UK.

It was a pleasure to be able to help such a worthy cause and many thanks to Olli of Blue Poppy Publishing for his kind words too.

Sarah’s super Queen collection from eBay

It was amazing to work with Sarah Grant from Devon to help show the world her incredible collection of original prints, paintings and pictures of Her Majesty the Queen.

It is hard to believe she managed to collect  most of these items from eBay, simply through diligent research and taking the time to speak to the sellers or artists.

Some of the collection is truly unique, such as a piece of the same silk the Queen’s coronation robe was made from, a piece of gift wrapped cake presented by a young Princess Elizabeth and even signed photographs from the Queen and Prince Philip.

It just goes to show that PR works in mysterious ways and you never quite know what you might be asked to present.
