I have a spotify playlist to go with this blogpost! 

 

It's exactly two years since my husband and I found out our Rage Against The Machine campaign had beaten X Factor to number one!  

During the day we'd had an inkling with the amount of interest and calls we were getting.  Eventually we got a text from Mr Cowell confirming it!  
We had a bit of jump and squeal and then I went up Radar Hill near my house to take these pictures on my little film Diana camera!  As you do, when you get to number one.  I have this photography thing bad.

Then Jon got whisked off to the BBC to be interviewed and I dished up the boys' dinner while listening to the chart on Radio 1.  Was the first of many surreal moments since then!

We are still receiving donations for Shelter!  Everyone has been so generous.

This year for the Christmas chart I am buying Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit,   Matt Berry's offering which is also helping Shelter, and for being a lovely proper Christmas song Tim Wheeler and Emmy the Great's Home for the Holidays. 

If, after Christmas, you find yourself needing a photographer you know where I am!
