Trying to film a cooking video with James May… over zoomLucy Brown2026-09-25 | Trying to film a cooking video with James May… over zoomFilming James Mays Mini | Behind the scenesLucy Brown2025-06-18 | Here’s what a fairly typical (but also slightly bizarre) week working for James May looks like. I filmed his Mini on the only rainy day of the week, upgraded my studio and spent far too much time playing with Airfix... I still can't quite believe this is my job.

When I got here it was basically a garden shed, but after a fair bit of work, I've finally built my dream workspace. Despite what James thinks, I could not be happier.

My Instagram: instagram.com/lucy.brrownExploring Venice with a $50 lens on my cameraLucy Brown2025-01-22 | A couple weeks before Christmas I kept seeing this $50 lens in an Instagram ad, so I figured I’d give it a go. It uses the lens from a disposable camera, and as an amateur photographer I wanted to see what kind of pictures it could take. To give it the best chance possible I thought I'd go somewhere cool, the cheapest flight I found was to Venice, so I jumped on a plane.
My brother loves nothing more than the track spec Mini that he's been building for the last few years. And today he's going to let me, a massively nervous driver, try it out.

I had a great time hanging out with the @ArnoldClarkAutos crew, go check out the video on their channel and spam the comments to let them know you came from here 😃 youtu.be/5C96-mU7WPM?si=ncOxt7vAeaOp9L6K
Over the last few months I've been figuring out what life looks like without a full time job. In that time I've had the opportunity to work on a bunch of fun projects, and recently I've been spending most of my time working with James May's gin company. So this week I thought I'd vlog everyday to give you an idea of what I get up to in a week.
My Instagram: instagram.com/lucy.brrownShould this be my next car?Lucy Brown2024-07-24 | I've been thinking about getting a new car for a while now.

And now that I'm not massively tied to the UK I'm very tempted to more here. I just need to find the perfect place to stay and I think I might have done just that.

While I was there I noticed a side to the Bahamas that you don't really see on people's socials when they go on holiday. A lot of abandoned stuff.
After working at DriveTribe for over four years, I've finally been allowed to drive something. That something was a CFMoto ZFORCE 1000 Sport. It was so much fun to drive, and despite the whiplash I had for a few days following, I'd definitely give it another shot if I could.

At the time this was a fairly ambitious feat for us as we only had a few hours of daylight, we were a very small crew and we'd only spent a couple of days planning the shoot.
It wasn't all smooth sailing but we managed to finish the day with a decent video. Today I thought I'd watch the video with you guys and share some insights into what went down on the day.
