I began this blog on October 1st 2013 when I was 6 months away from my 50th Birthday and wanted to daily record my year with the blog ending on September 30th 2014. Five years later as I approached 55 I repeated this. Now ten years after this all began as I prepare to reach my 60th birthday in 2024 once more a daily update beginning on October 1st 2023 and ending on 30th September 2024. It is a personal journey, which others may find mind-numbing!

October 16th 2013
Well its been a very busy few days but today was a workathon Wednesday as I was producing 2 Shared Planet episodes for Radio 4 plus an additional few pieces for other episodes in the series. That's 6 half hour interviews, plus script read through, discussions and field pieces packaged; working in the studio with the team and all the paraphernalia which goes towards making 1 hour of radio. Interestingly the 'Soils' programme which went out yesterday has received huge correspondence from the public, thankfully mostly positive. The vulnerability of soil really does seem to have touched the consciousness of the listener, a much overlooked topic in my book, but of equal, if not greater, importance than climate change. Without soils, we don't have food.
I quickly took this shot of Kelvin Boot and Monty Don discussing programme 18, Restrictions and Choice, to remind me of these 11 hour studio days. What a job!
