This week things may be a little slower and less deep than usual in that I'm preparing to be away at LG camp which should be fun checking everything all off on lists so I have what I need without taking the kitchen sink with me while melting as this is being typed in the sun, keeping well hydrated.
It also means a bit more time spent on one site where much of the discussion and planning for this in the bigger sense takes place which does take me a bit away from other things of necessity.
It is also worth my mentioning that it does effect stuff in the period I'm away not just Tumblr and the Music Site but blogging so I'll see if something can't be set up to run although I won't be around to post links and all that..
Most people know what my favourite all time tv show is - and it's run for over sixty years - and until 2011 there were year books (later annuals) of which this one shows then current presenters Matt Baker, Konnie Haq, Liz Barker and I think Simon Thomas.
Lindsey with Henry the dog.
On last Thursday one of the current presenters Lindsey Russell left after a eight year run starting in September 2013 with Barney Harwood after a audition followed by show audience vote.
May 2018 saw her undertake a challenge flying with the Red Arrows, taking control for herself and this is the one thing she says was her favourite, learning a lot about herself from it plus Piloting a hot-air balloon across the Arctic, Climbing mountains with the Swiss Army and Interviewing David Attenborough.
There wasn't just the usual wall of post from the shows young audience that included letters drawings, paintings and crafts connected to her but another great big wall too.
She had some challenges to do such as fastest getting changed into Cricket Whites in which she set a new record of just over 38 seconds adjudicated by Guinness the records people and identifying by touch three objects in boxes.
She was presented with a Blue Peter Gold Badge by Richie Driss who was the presenter who joined just after her and took under her wing for a period.
Tributes were paid by Radzi, Katy Hill and Konnie Huq amongst others including some children views from the Blue Peter Fan Club which is online and after a competition she went up as the credits rolled in a hot air balloon over the studio at Salford's Media City to a crowd of school children cheering and waving.
It was sad, these things just are but she was brilliant.
