BBC2 programme is Wednesday, not Tuesday – Sorry
Ed Gransden has kindly pointed out that your Editor is totally confused about the days, (put it down to the bank holiday last week which made everything different), and that the “Our Food” programme is actually on Wednesday at 8.00pm on BBC2.
I’ve checked the schedules myself now, and confirm that it will be Wednesday that we will see Lady of the Lea and Edith May. Apparently it will be Giles Coren presenting from on board Lady of the Lea on the Medway.
So NOT Tuesday, but Wednesday.
Two ladies to star on BBC2 next Tuesday
Edith May Trading Company has let us know that she will be starring in a television programme next week, together with Lady of the Lea.
The programme is on BBC2 on Tuesday 17 April, at 8.00pm, and is called “Our Food”. It’s a series, and this particular edition features Kent, and will tell how Thames sailing barges used to take fruit to London. It was filmed aboard Lady of the Lea, with what is described as “a special guest appearance from Edith May”. Can’t wait to see them both.
Here’s Edith May about to go under the Orwell Bridge to the Ipswich Parade of Sail 2011, and proudly flying all her winner’s pennants. (photo – Dave Brooks)
And this is Lady of the Lea finishing, (last we are afraid, but she is little), in the 2010 Thames Match. (photo – Tricia Gurnett)
