Whiskey tasting with a difference!

Mid-way through the first week, I was expecting this to be a duplicate of the Shorthand blog, such was the hold those curls, strokes and squiggles had over our lives, but that was before Thursday afternoon.

We’ve been split into groups and given an area of London to cover for the next three weeks with the hope of turning up some good stories to write about.  My group were lucky enough to get Southwark and Borough and the five of us made a trip to the South Bank on one of the last days of summer to acquaint ourselves with our patch.  Twenty minutes after arriving at Waterloo we had managed to get ourselves involved in a whiskey tasting with a difference – it was on a table suspended forty feet up in the air!

The views of London were great and the whiskey very tasty.  While it was over in twenty minutes the experience was a great reminder of the opportunities the career and the course at News Associates can provide.

As for the shorthand? Well, I’m beginning to dream about it, but I guess that means it’s going in.
