My husband John and I traveled from London to Center Parcs Woburn Forest for a fab little getaway and we brought you along for the holibobs. I'm a London presenter and producer, vlogger, and digital creator. Here is a little of the behind-the-scenes of our adventures as a vlog series. In this episode, I talk you through the segway experience and take you along with us for the laser clay shoot.

For a bit more of a chat on who I am, I'm a physiological science graduate who has catapulted into the arts. I love things that are beautiful, original and fun. Sometimes it feels like two halves of myself but I am big on theatre and film as well as loving geeking out about science and tech. A ceroc and bouldering enthusiast - and I'm a real-live-Christian! After my foray with the sciences, I completed the Bloomberg Broadcast Programme, training for live broadcast and I LOVED it. I then completed TV presenter and radio training separately and found myself as a creative freelancer. I worked in my own name making all sorts of video content including social media videos for an agency, videos and pitches with owlinspace media group, and wedding videos with my dear friend and much-respected filmmaker pal Jo Robbings. I worked in the Comms For Development team for the charity Tearfund as a video and audio producer and then when another project fell dramatically through, BBC Songs of Praise took me into their production team and I had an incredible time working with a dear and FANTASTIC team out of MediaCity - and indeed across much of the UK for outside broadcast music captures and presenter-led stories. I came back to London to get married and picked up my old hat of presenting live and pre-recorded radio. I hosted on Premier Praise and managed to achieve the privilege of hosting - at one point or another - every hour of Premier Christian Radio's 'clock' as first-cover by the time I took on co-presenting Inspirational Breakfast via Premier Drive! BANG - COVID-19 had me redundant and working through the above life in the fast lane! I gradually have been put back together and been honoured to work as a freelance presenter and producer for a number of organisations making everything from podcasts as a behind-the-scenes producer or a host through to being a Producer Director for various digital release kids tv shows. Hooray for working creatively in a team again! My husband and I as part of 'Redeemed Productions' also present and produce audiobooks for The Good Book Company and if you'd like to listen to my most recent titles recorded or produced, just type 'Rachel Redeemed' into Audible. I think that's us up to speed - who knows what the next chapter holds, it's been a wild ride so far!
Thank you so much for reading this far and engaging with my work. I appreciate this is a massive privilege. Cheers.
Thanks to the dear and lovely Siân for my thumbnails. You can say a friendly hello on her Twitter, she has many a creative string to her bow : @sianelissa
