Live interview to celebrate the first anniversary of BBC Weather Watchers
BBC Weather Watchers celebrated its first anniversary and I was invited to chat live on air with the lovely Carol Kirkwood about my experiences out and about with my camera.
During the interview a selection of my weather photos were screened. Many of my photos were showcased on BBC News 24 that same evening, when weather presenter John Hammond discussed my work as shown on the BBC during the past year.

weather watcher interview on radio leeds
Helping to launch Weather Watchers on Radio Leeds
As a pioneering BBC Weather Watcher I was invited to help launch the new concept on Radio Leeds', where I met Paul Hudson after many years of submitting weather photos to him. We were interviewed live on air by Andrew Edwards on Drive Time. It was an amazing experience to visit the Radio Leeds studio and to play a small part in promoting BBC Weather Watchers, encouraging everyone to join the club.

Community Champion award
Photographer wins Community Champion Award 2014
I was surprised and thrilled to receive a Community Champion Award from the Holme Valley Parish Council. The award recognises residents who go that extra mile to do something special for the Holme Valley.
I was nominated due to the success I've had in getting our fabulous local countryside featured regularly on news programmes. I receive no financial reward for my contributions to TV, but I take great pleasure in sharing the sights I photograph whilst out walking the hills with my dog, Crumble the border terrier.
Holme Valley Parish Council commented: "Sandie's phtotography is brilliant and has been featured everywhere recently, helping to promote the wonderful Valley that we live in."
