A Farewell to Wake up to Wogan

Today marked the last broadcast of Wake up to Wogan. I am currently listening again via the BBC Iplayer as I had to go to work this morning before the show finished.

You can listen to the last seven days of shows via the BBC Radio 2 website. Click HERE to listen to todays final broadcast.

I have been mentally writing a farewell letter to Terry for many weeks now. In the end many many people wrote in and reflected my thoughts and feelings. So I have decided to save my letter until his new weekly Sunday show starts on Valentines Day 2010 and instead of dwelling on how much I will miss him, put my effort into welcoming him back to the airwaves! My Sunday routine is about to change!

In addition to listening to the last few shows you can sign Terry's online card HERE. If like me you feel the need to reach out to the TOGMeister why not leave him a message.


In recent years in particular I have become used to this Terry's wonderfully familiar and comforting voice getting me through the start of the day and playing so many tunes that I love. The last show is full of Terry's favourite tracks. I swear I can feel the nations grief today.

In addition to Terry's new show he will continue to host and champion Children in Need, and I have no doubt will turn up in a few other places. I bet he still wakes up at 3 every morning though!

I am off shortly to look up some Wogan clips on You Tube, apparently he holds the record for the longest televised golf put.

In the meantime all I want to say is heart felt thank you...

Thank you Terry! I miss you already.

Camera Critters #4 - Buzzard

I grabbed this shot one day on our camping trip. The buzzard was a regular visitor to the field and had just delighted me with a close fly over. He hovered over my head for ages and I allowed myself the pleasure of just watching before I decided it was worth a mad dash for my camera and a quick lens change. My big lens takes better shots from the tripod as the small movements of my hand and breathing make for blurred images but I was pleased to be able to get this anyway.

I found out yesterday that Joni over at My Piece of Heaven has closed her blog. She runs a farm with her husband and also works as a medical transcriber. Apparently Joni is increasing her hours at work and she has decided that with the extra work and the farm to run she won't be able to fit blogging in, at least not to the standard that she wishes to. I completely understand but I am sad that I won't be able to visit her blog anymore. Joni posted everyday and displayed amazing photos of the beautiful and varied wildlife in her part of the world, including her new puppy Cooper! I am really happy that things are going well for Joni but I am sorry that I did not get a chance to tell her how much I valued her and her blog before she went. It's a funny thing this virtual socialising, connections are made between people. There are a few blogs that I visit that really mean a lot to me, I get a great deal of joy out of visiting them and corresponding with the author. They may not k
