After a huge and strangely emotional week, a rare pic from this side of the drone! I’m very proud to have documented the building of our new home for the last three years. Hundreds of flying hours, thousands of pics and more video than you can imagine. I’ve met some amazing people both face to face and of course, here on social media. It’s been a privilege to meet the brilliant @Meisarch and his dedicated team. Likewise Gareth Jaques, @Laing_ORourke Project Director, who has been nothing but accommodating in terms of information and access. Gareth and his team are (rightly) beaming with pride at what they’ve built. I’ve met countless people stopping to chat while I’ve been at the site and avoided a fair share of abuse hurled at me from moving vehicles! I’m privileged that flying a drone has led me to meet @learyg85 and her lovely family who have shown the utmost courage in dealing with the tragic loss of Michael. His legacy is our home 💙 It’s been a tough time to be a blue of late, and since the stadium changed hands on Friday, my messages have been overwhelming and I suspect similar for others who’ve also documented the build. It’s nice to know that (largely) we’ve helped 🙂 And still it’s just a hobby. I’m not quite finished just yet, I intend to follow the progress until the stadium is fully finished, and then back to document Goodison 🥹 Keep smiling blues. Up the Toffees 💪💙
