Hello

hello – come in and make yourself at home

The Woodies have a blog. It’s a kind of collective. Not sure we’re about to start a revolution baby, but we might kindle a small debate or two and perhaps raise a smile. Anyway, rather than just blogging corporate Woodreed by fielding our top Woodie (as so many other companies seem to do in a thinly veiled attempt at impressing with their profundity), we wanted all our individual voices to be heard. An agency’s most valuable assets are its people after all. Everyone’s got something to say here and with us everyone’s ideas and opinions matter.

Each week someone different will be blogging. It's mostly about stuff that rocks our world as well as the flipside – the things that just don't cut it with us. We'll blog about inside and outside – inside this glorious industry where we work and outside in the real world.
It's a bit of an experiment, so go with us on this one.

Hope you enjoy.

Here comes the bride...

On Saturday 18th Dec I looked out my window and watched the falling snow cover the streets. Nick, my family and I were due to leave for Scotland on the Sunday for a magical week away. We were going to get married and spend Christmas there.


Despite loving the snow, this was at its most dangerous. And it wasn’t stopping.


We had been taking calls all day from our parents and family asking us to be prepared to cancel the wedding. We decided to stay calm and carry on.


Conditions worsened but we got there in one piece!


However, the conversation with our trusted registrar brought us back to reality. Despite assuring us that she would be there whatever the weather, she now warned us that she would only be there if the weather allowed her.


My wedding party assumed I was calm, but I was intensely traumatized.


Planning my wedding was a real test of character and I'm glad that I passed that test. I managed to get through it without stressing anybody out or having a tantrum.


It was about Nick and I working as a team, together remaining positive and determined to have the best day of our lives, whatever.
