The view from my plinth

What can I say? The reaction on here has been absolutely fantastic. I never expected to have generated such massive interest. The support on here was just immense. A big thank you to all of you who watched on the webstream and sent me texts.

You rock all of you.

And thanks too to Joe for writing about me on the blipblog and bringing this to your attention.

My hour was great fun. The weather was gorgeous and the reaction from the people in the square was really positive. Lots of "Hello", "What's it like up there?" and most unexpectedly, lots of horn tooting from passing traffic. A superb project and an honour to be a part of it.
