A great evening!

I am new to blogging.  I can twitter, facebook, email, chat but no blog!  So I have decided to start.  Chances are no-one will read this but it means I can get some private thoughts into text and we will see where we will go.
Well this evening is a superb end to a hectic day.  I am a director of a company that makes communication aids for people with little or no ability to speak (www.toby-churchill.com).  Today we receive the Queens Award for Export.  My boss, went to Buck House this evening to collect it from the Queen herself.  I got to stay at home.  I don't mind, it is enough to see that the company is doing well.
That said it was a busy day as I got invited to do an interview at the local BBC Radio Cambridgeshire with Andie Harper, that was fun.  I wanted to get the message out that there are lots of people who cannot speak who do not know that they could have a solution to allowing them to communicate.  This provides independence, inclusion and in general a better quality of life.  I hope that the interview helped to get this message out.
Then the rest of the day I have been twitting and facebooking messages in support of this message and using the Queen's Award as a vehicle for promoting my company.  Did it work?  Only time can tell.

I arrived home this evening, looking forward to an evening with my 12 year old daughter Jessica.  We decided to go canoeing along the Cam and have an ice cream afterwards.  This was a great stress reliever and we had a lot of fun.  Cambridge is beautiful in the summer.

So a good day and a great evening......now for the washing up!
