It's gloomy outside and since I last wrote the autumn has come and all the leaves have more or less fallen. There are a few late stayers but they should be gone soon and then we go into Christmas and after that what somebody once called "the bare bones of winter" when the trees are mere skeletons against a wintry backdrop. It's at this time that I make my search for the first snowdrop or the first sign of daffodils poking through the ground. Spring begins for me when this happens and then I just watch for each new development. There is always a little melancholy attached to this time of the year and then a little lift when the New Year comes around and the light starts to change.
I have been asked to do a radio special next year of my years in the business in the 60's and the people I worked with. I hope it happens and the idea has been shortlisted at Radio 2 so we will see. It will be fun to do and maybe it will open a few new doors. I have a feeling that changes are on the way next year so maybe this will be a part of them. Let's see what happens.
