A couple of weeks ago I posted an update that I was - finally - making a move to get back to co-presenting the reviews for Planetauto, and I am so pleased to say that I'm back! Hurrah...
(Apologies for the messy hair - too much rain has got me all frizzy!)
This past week has seen us have our first ever Toyota on review, and such a milestone was marked with the Yaris Cross Hybrid...
The reason it's such a milestone is because it's taken four years to get this going. All manufacturers have different criteria when it comes to press vehicle loans, and Toyota have an analytical way to survey any new requests.
As we are still climbing in terms of ranks, this is the first time they have said yes! (Cue happy dance)
Ben and I are thrilled about this - it's great to see our hard work is paying off, and the fact this review is one of my first back is hugely gratifying for me as well. Knowing that I am (slowly) clawing my way back is a huge step forward in terms of getting back to doing what I love.
Thing is...I'd forgotten how flippin tiring it is!! 🤣🤣
Seriously though, I have to pace myself anyway. Being a disabled journalist is no picnic, so I have to pick my battles, and sharing the load in terms of the work that goes into a review is not only gratifying, it's better for both of us.
So it's onwards and upwards now...let's see where it takes us.
Thank you all!
Annabelle 😊
