What the Local Guides program means to me?

Exploring - Adventuring - Interacting - Connecting are just a few words that describe what the Local Guide program means to me. Since being a part of the program I have helped thousands of people find what they are looking for on google. By taking time to leave a review really connects local business and people together making my community a brighter place to live.

The Pig & Tail in Birmingham is a gorgeous restaurant which serves food through out the day. It was a cold but sunny winter’s day and my family where coming up to see me from my home town, High Wycombe.

We chose to dine at the pig and tail which I knew would go down a treat, Becky was our waitress and was so lovely she saw that our fingers where still numb form the cold so she knocked up some hot chocolates with a dash of Irish creme for us to take the chill off.

I took my photos and left my review, when I returned several weeks later Becky remembered exactly who I was and greeted me with such warmth and told me that she was so great full for my review and that people had been asking for a hot chocolate with a dash of Irish Creme so she put it on the menu.

Its moments like that that make me feel connected to my community and that by showing appreciation for others peoples hard work is incredibly satisfying.
