FIRST IT WAS DAVID CAMERON NOW IT鈥橲 DANIEL CRAIG
This was the year I turned forty, no big deal, actually I quite enjoyed it and am still doing so, there鈥檚 something reassuring about it. This was the year I started my beloved drive time show, the best job I鈥檝e ever had. This was the year I finally began to accept the un-understandility of girls, what a relief that was. This was the year I gave up trying to get my mum to tell me what she puts in her delicious hot pot that makes it taste so unbelievable This was the year I found the flat I have always wanted. This was the year I learnt to forage. This was the year I embraced technology, acquiring a mobile phone and starting this blog. This, in short, has been a blimin鈥 great year, an absolute belter.
贬翱奥贰痴贰搁鈥
鈥his has also been the year, when for the first time in my life, the leader of the conservative party is younger than me. Now that was a toughy, though after a small period of counselling and some meditative self worth classes I did manage to come to terms with it.
BUT THEN WHAT HAPPENS ?
BOND ! JAMES (I鈥橫 OMLY THIRTY EIGHT) BOND.
THAT鈥橲 WHAT.
Yes, dear reader, if you are 39 years of age or more, you are now older than the world鈥檚 favourite secret agent.
Daniel Craig, what are you doing to us ?
What else is to come ? How about the day you wake up and you鈥檙e older than people who were actually older than you:-
TREVOR MACDONALD, PENELOPE KEITH, MELVYN BRAGG, DAVID DIMBLEBY, YOUR OWN SWEET MAMMA !
With every day that passes I feel a bit more panicky, in a good way. I figure the next ten years are going to be my best ever, there鈥檚 so much to do and I really feel like I鈥檓 in exactly the right place and frame of mind to take it all on. There鈥檚 not a moment to spare. Better get going.
Come Friday of last week, frankly, I couldn鈥檛 wait to be back on the groove, I was chomping at the bit, so much gathered, so much to talk about, new ideas to develop, more discussions to have and boy did bonfire night kick in the CHRISTMAS vibe. It鈥檚 time.
Hope you鈥檙e all swell and ready to re-engage.
What follows is now a photoless gallery of what I鈥檝e been up to over that last fortnight. It鈥檚 photoless because I don鈥檛 know how to post photos from my phone. However there is a very clever chap called Jonathan who I hope will paste in the gaps later. For now, I will describe what the photo is of and you can use your vivid creativity to construct your own image of how you think it might look. Check later to see if you鈥檙e right, or just hold that thought to avoid any possible disappointment in discovering the reality.
In the bush with Mr. Ray Mears, this was our make shift kitchen鈥.
Ray fillets a salmon, with his hands and then fashions a grilling situation out of a hazel branch, it was scrummy by the way.
Ray turns snapper.
My tee pee, my home, my everything.
A four thousand year old yew tree.
Golf in Ireland, heaven. Four days, four courses, shed loads of fun.
More heaven.
The cookery course, sixteen of us sitting down to the John Dory that we鈥檇 just made.
My escalopes of pork in secret green sauce, my friends will be eating this for years to come whether they like it or not.
One of my best friends KEITH, following shed loads of fun, doing his famous RON ATKINSON, impression. He hates this photograph and refuses to accept that it is actually him.
A girl I met o Saturday night.
So there we are and here we go.
UK tombola kicks off this week. In the first week in December the show will be broadcast from four listeners鈥 homes. One in England, one in Scotland, one in Wales and one in Northern Ireland all in the same week.
We鈥檙e also looking for advent kids for the month of Yuletide although we鈥檙e not quite sure what we鈥檙e going to do with them. Does it really matter ?
There鈥檚 gonna be lots more mange tout, definitely more chaise longue and how about a decent seasoning of bonne da douche !
Good sex to you all and if not, there are millions of great books to read and well there you are.

Good morning Mr Evans, and welcome back! It sounds as thought you return in a very positive and cheery mood, its good to have you back with us.
Cant wait to see the pics!
GillyM
how do I look at the pictures?
Welcome back Christophe!
I never realised David Cameron was so young! I turn 39 next week (Wednesday, same day as Boris Becker btw) so am definitely feeling old! My line manager at work is 10 years younger than me, where's the justice in that?!
Am looking forward to drive home this week as I'm in my 3rd week back at work after and 8 week absence and consequently this is my 1st week working full hours so finishing at 5 instead of 3. I'll be able to tune in for my 45 minute drive home, yippee!
Are you proud of all your blogees btw, achieving over 600 entries in your absence?
TTFN
Tiggy xx
Welcome back Chris- it's great that you sound so up for it!!
We've missed you.
Bit pre-occupied right now- got an interview at 10.20. Wish me luck.
This has been a well-cr***y year for me- job/money/relationship break up...but onward and upward and all that.
Bonne la douche?? The mind boggles!
Happy Monday everyone.
Gilly
Well HALLO and how're ya doin? How's it goin?
Now, apparently, I am older than Demi Moore and Madonna. I do not know how this happened.
Looks like you lost your sweepstake Keith...
Welcome 麻豆约拍!

Huraagh - he's back!!!
cant wait for tonight!!
Incidentally, i am sure that the photos are great, and i look forward to checking them out later, but there is something quite cool about using my imagination of what your photos will look like!
Ray turns snapper is my [imaginary] favourite.
good to have you back CLP
xx
A big welcome back Chris -
Don't know about being ready to re-engage, we've been engaging throughout your little break. You're right about the Christmas vibe, although not really in our house yet, I've already seen a full decked out house with lights and moving santa's!
RE: being older than people that are older than you - I think I might be older than my actual mother, my grandma frequently refers back to the day she got married and says things like - you remember, the bridesmaids wore orange and such like. I keep having to remind her that I actually wasn't there!!!
:o) Jo
PS - Are you sure about that shirt in your photoless galley, I don't think tie die is quite your style
Really missed the show.
Great to have you back.
PS
i cant wait to be forty. i dont want to wish my life away but i do think that by the time i get there, i may actually accept the following facts:
it is possible to have a wobbly tummy and be considered sexy.
chocolate can be eaten without guilt - who cares what anyone else thinks when i pick up my second bar of the day.
its other peoples problem if they think i am too opinionated.
you dont always have to be so forceful when giving your opinions!
and the most important one,
its ok to just be.
I suppose the fact i have noted them suggests i am starting to think them, but i wonder if i will really believe them. Hit 30 this year and still not totally convinced on any of the above!!

Ps:
Heres my Monday offering!
A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping the other
monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand.
He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not from
the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes to the head abbot to question
this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in the first copy
it would never be picked up! In fact, that error would be continued in all
of the subsequent copies.
The head monk, says, "We have been copying from the copies for centuries,
but you make a good point, my son."
He goes down into t he dark caves underneath the monastery where the
original manuscripts are held as archives in a locked vault that hasn't been
opened for hundreds of years. Hours go by and nobody sees the old abbot.
So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him. He sees him
banging his head against the wall and wailing,
"We missed the "R" ! , we missed the "R" !"
His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably. The
young monk asks the old abbot, "What's wrong, Father?"
With a choking voice, the old abbot replies, "The word was...
CELEBRATE!!!"
Dear Chris
Welcome back and a hearty thanks for saving us all from the last post. Who knows where it would have ended up. We were all stuck in an elevator at one point, playing word games to relieve the boredom whilst fantasising about who we wanted to rescue us. I say we, but unfortunately I suffer from mild vertigo and fear of lifts, so I refused to enter.
Glad to hear that you had a good time. If you managed to keep up with my own adventures, you will know that I am out of the woods, so to speak, and currently on a marketing frenzy of a book that I heartily recommend. Why? Because I wrote it, ha ha.
No, but seriously, there are indeed an absolute plethora of good reads out there. I don't see the incompatibility between good sex and a good read, so long as what you are reading is appropriately saucy. In fact, there may well be a syngergism.
To avoid the beady eyes of the moderators, I am using a clever code to market the book. If you can crack it, you are not only the way to a job at GCHQ, but are one step closer to owning something that you will possibly treasure for ever.
Here, for you Chris, and the rest of the blogging gang, is today's coded message.

Hello lovely!! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO happy you're back!!!
I've stopped worrying about my age now - Helen Mirren, voted sexiest woman in the world at around 70. I've got another 25 years to work on my looks then ha ha!!
Can't wait for tonight's show and to hear all the gossip first hand. Have to say the music is nothing, the chat is EVERYTHING, that's what I've discovered over the last 2 weeks - and I've really missed the chat.
Lots of love

Welcome back ...........i've missed you!!!
Photo's are great, nice tree!!
Good Morning Christophe!
So good to have you back. Certainly sounds like you had a fab time!
I'm off on maternity leave and impatiently awaiting babs who is now overdue.
Looking forward to hearing you tonight to relieve the boredom!

Welcome home Chris!
We've missed you loads, but have been keeping each other company while you've been gone.
Glad you had a good time on your hol's but it's been awful without you. Mr McC did try, and he's a nice enough guy BUT NOT A PATCH ON YOU
(That's my stalker-ish bit over with!!)
Received my Racing Grannies in the post this weekend - you'd have loved them - they go perfectly with the racing nuns!!
Looking forward to 5pm.
Have a great day all.

Welcome back Chris. You've been missed.
Glad you enjoyed your break. Can't wait for the show tonight.
Love, Peas and Understanding x
Welcome back!!
I think I speak for everyone who listens to your show and/or reads this blog when I say we've missed you lots!
I am only 37 (38 very soon), so I am younger (just) than Dave and Dan, but I said to my friend the other day, you know you're getting on a bit when the wife of the Tory leader is younger than you (she's 35 apparently).
In my heart I'm about 6, the same age as my little boy, and that, i suppose, is what matters.
Tried to get on the show (again) on Friday, can you give me some tips on what to say to get on the air? I've even got through a couple of times, but obviously wasn't funny enough to get on the air. My little boy even got through too but he didn't get to speak to you either. Please help me, I don't like not getting what I want!!
Looking forward to 5,
Em M x

WELCOME BACK CHRISTOPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have missed you lots
And a very Happy Monday to all you lovely bloggers out there

Welcome back Chris.
Ah we all get older.
First it was footballers and policemen that I marvelled at their age, now I know to look forward to Political Leaders and James Bond.
I just smile through my teeth to get through the day!!
What?? No comments?? How can this be!!! Has the moderator broken down and refused to work after the last two weeks barrage of posts???
Anyway, welcome home Chris! Nice to have you back my little strawberry!! mange mange tout (which are actually nice when they are steamed!!)
Have a fab day all!!!!! (even though its Monday!)

PS: Captain Jack Sparrow........have not stopped talking about him since last weeks elevator game!! :-D
Good morning Chris,
Welcome back, you sound in fine fettle, we have missed you lots xx
Can't wait to see the photo's, sounds like you had a fab time xx
I will be 43 in a couple of weeks, I know what you mean about people being younger. I'm still trying to get used to people who I think should be older than me being younger :-)))))
Each year I set myself challenges and try to do at least one that involve improving the life of others. This year I made the decision to become a foster carer, and whilst it's a lengthy process to become approved I feel it will be worth the wait.
Can't wait to hear you at 5, have a great day xx
Lots of love
Mary xx
It has been a long two weeks without you. I have just got used to the listening time and then your off for two weeks!
Glad to have you back and Iam sure it will be better than ever.
Must go, go 18 holes to get in before the kids get home.
Ben
Great to have you back, refreshed.
WELCOME BACK CHRIS,
Oh my Gawd is he really 38!!! I am 34 so you might presume that does not present a problem, but as an un-understandable girlie let me explain. While many many men, my hubby included, dream about living the life of a double '0' agent and fiddling with gadgets (and yes being a sassy female agent occassionally crosses the mind) my own fantasy (and I don't think I'm alone here!!!) was to be a Bond girl. You know, the type of girl that hears the words "Bond, James Bond" sees a raised eyebrow and magically all her clothes fall off???(How did that happen (does any one remember Roger moore undoing that satin dressing gown with one hand by just gently pulling at one end of the belt!- and what's worse I'm sure she was Precious from Grange Hill)).
Anyway my panic is that if Bond is 38 is 34 too old to be a Bond Girl? Pussy Galore give me strength.....
Cx
PS pictures look great, why is Ray wearing that codpiece???(oh sorrry, they're still in my imagination oops)
Yaayyyy I now have a reasion to switch on my computer again, I've miss you all badly.... I know there have been posts while chris is away but its not quite the same is it!
As for the feeling old bit well I'm in a very lucky position, I have 2 older brothers and 3 older cousins who are like brothers to me, they rock! I also have an older cousin who take sthe position of big sister and my oldest cous is my Godfather.... I truely am the baby of the family the youngest of my generation above my is nearly 7 years older..... they have kids closer to my age who are nearer in age than they are. The up shot is When my brother reached 40 I was ONLY 30! when I get to 40 he will be 50.... I will allways be little sister. AND this means I get the tag of Cool Aunty who takes there kids out to the pub to play pool and watch carefully while they get a little wobbley on weak larger instead of waiting for them to come home drunk after being out with their friends. I love it!
Is good to know I will always be their little sister no matter how old I get
Christophe Lammmmmmmeny pie..
Thank the lord ye have returned :-)
Welcome Back Christof.
Looking forward to my drive home now.
Thank you for coming back.... there's always that worry with you isn't there?
Hel
Happy Monday bloggers and schloggers,
Well how wrong can I be? 9:11a.m. good going Chris :-)
So reaching 40 has not affected you at all then! :-0 Yea you have convinced me alright!
So I am older than James Bond鈥︹o ya think I am I bovverer, do ay? Am I bovvered? Not in the slightest age is a thing that is inevitable and being older than James Bond is just one of life鈥檚 little miracles and should be embraced and not fought. I would love to be able to say to James Bond 鈥渓ook here sonny!鈥 and get away with it. :-)
Pleased to have you back safe and sound and I am looking forward to seeing the photos when they are on the blog.
I can not wait for the show tonight :-))
Stay happy everyone what ever age you are :-)
Keith

P.S. Although I have already posted a joke on the old, long post this morning the return on Mr E I will give you all a second helping as I do believe that laughing keeps you young! :-)
The leprechaun and the Golfer
An American golfer playing in Ireland hooked his drive into the woods. Looking for his ball, he found a little Leprechaun flat on his back, a big bump on his head and the golfer's ball beside him.
Horrified, the golfer got his water bottle from the cart and poured it over the little guy, reviving him.
"Arrgh! What happened?" the Leprechaun asked.
"I'm afraid I hit you with my golf ball," the golfer says.
"Oh, I see. Well, ye got me fair and square. Ye get three wishes, so whaddya want?"
"Thank God, you're all right!" the golfer answers in relief. "I don't want anything,
I'm just glad you're OK, and I apologize." And the golfer walks off.
"What a nice guy," the Leprechaun says to himself. "I have to do something for him. I'll give him the three things I would want.
A great golf game, all the money he ever needs, and a fantastic sex life."
A year goes by (as it does in stories like this) and the American golfer is back.
On the same hole, he again hits a bad drive into the woods and the Leprechaun is there waiting for him.
"Twas me that made ye hit the ball here," the little guy says. "I just wanted to ask ye, how's yer golf game?"
"My game is fantastic!" the golfer answers. "I'm an internationally famous golfer now."
He adds, "By the way, it's good to see you're all right."
"Oh, I'm fine now, thank ye. I did that fer yer golf game, you know.
And tell me, how's yer money situation?"
"Why, it's just wonderful!" the golfer states. "When I need cash, I just reach in my pocket and pull out $100.00 bills I didn't even know were there!"
"I did that fer ye also. And tell me, how's yer sex life?"
The golfer blushes, turns his head away in embarrassment, and says shyly, "It's OK."
"C'mon, c'mon now," urged the Leprechaun, "I'm wanting to know if I did a good job. How many times a week?"
Blushing even more now, the golfer looks around then whispers, "Once, sometimes twice a week."
"What??" responds the Leprechaun in shock. "That's all? Only once or twice a week?"
"Well," says the golfer, "I figure that's not bad for a Catholic priest in a small parish."
Ah gowan smile ;-))
Soozy Woo - thanks for the kind words. In fact, I was never unleashed. I had only a modicum of support, as one might expect, and so gracefully withdrew from the contest. What power did have I against the intellectual frenzy of the elevator game?
yours
J McC
Hey Krystoff...
Look at that...after all that panicking, and you were there all the time...You sound as though you had a brilliant break, and it's good to catch up on your achievements throughout the year.
LUUUUUUUUUUURVE Daniel Craig. end of.
The photos are fab. It's amazing what you can do with just two pixels and a rubber band.
MWK 21# - Me and the boy were talking just yesterday about the amount of famous people who were always older than us, but are now younger. There are several 'celebrities' who suddenly seem to be back in their late 30's/early 40's!!! It's my birthday in a couple of weeks too hoorah xx
ANNA 6# 9# - You were right all along...but we knew you were going to be eh!
Hope you are now busy catching up on all that we've got up to in the last (interminable without your good self) two weeks...although the good Doctor J McC has summarised it beautifully...and he's been on there just as much as everyone else too!
Looking forward to l'heure cinq

Last blog for a while as Xmas comes to where I work early, hence madness and bonkeroonery and shameless Squiggly Pig mentions.
As for great years, I'm in agreement Christophle (welcome back poppet - we've missed you).
The Squiggly Pig will be a year old in NINE days time. The presents are mounting up and we've got 4387495674 small people coming to invade (and destroy) our home the week after next - and I can't wait.
This year has been outstandingly full of love for her, for my husband who puts up with relentless rattiness from me, and I look at the world in a different way (more so today, as am sporting the worst hair cut I've ever had in my life).
I love the fact everything's new to her and by proxy, to me. Everyone's older than the Pig, so age means nothign to her, but the first one, well, it's everything to us.
Lots of love to you, your green sauce (is it edible for a Squiggly Pig?) and the Ron Atkinson chap - I'll see you on the other side of Christmas.
I'll be listening wholeheartedly. If you can squeeze a mention of the Pig (real name Eleanor) in at about 5pm on the 22nd November, that'd be top - but I'm sure there will be others much more interesting and worthy of a mention.
Gladder than a glad thing to have you back Christophle.
xxxxx
Chris, chris, chris....the attractions of an older man FAR outweigh the attractions of a younger blokey. Take for instance my situation, i am 25 and my chap is 39 (40 in June!) I'll never have my head turned by a mere boy of 25 again!!!!
I would quite like to see a female Bond, I'm not sure what her name would be though!
....Joanna Bond? Jamie Bond? Jennifer Bond?....would her name have to begin with a J?...who would do the "walking-out-of-the-sea-whilst-scantily-clad" scene?.....JD perhaps???!!! >-D
Answers on a postcard please!
TTFN!

Welcome back Chris!
I have just laughed out loud reading your thoughts, and trying to imagine the photos.
Ever since two members of my family were diagnosed with cancer, i have tried to look on the positive.
My dad bless him really is a grumpy old man, but he has had lung cancer, 2 heart attacks and is now about 90 % blind,but still he makes me laugh every day i speak to him. He is my inspiration.
love to all
hope this is a good week
Doctor McCrumble,
My most humble apologies for my typing error in my previous entry. My intention was to let Mr Evans know that Mr Maconie was not as good as he.
You, on the other hand, are on a parr with the great Christophe! I am one of your biggest fans.
I do, however, continue to be concerned about your choice of assistant. I was pleased to hear you had a 2nd assistant, but I knew a MaCavity once. He turned out to be a fiend (in feline form). Are you sure yours isn't responsible for the hedgehogs?
Take care (and hugs to all)

Hello christoph
Welcome back ....you have been missed.
question for you....when you go to the viewers house in December are they going to be treated to your Pork escalopes ??? They look fabulous !!!!
What happened to the girl on the sofa?? You never did explain what "the talk" was all about.
I know i know...just being nosey
Re: Getting old.......you are as old as the person you are feeling !!!!!
Can't wait till 5 to hear your lovely dulcit tones again......( i'm not a stalker honestly)
Take care all
Galadriel xxx
Oh - you have to have plenty of helpings of bonne de douche!! Only fools.......
Well I'm happily younger than Bond and DC by about 10 years, but for my 30th next year I'm going to climb Sydney Harbour Bridge! Yup - kick start what will be - and there's no doubt about it - a fabbo 10 years. Stay focussed, be positive and everything will be easier - even the horrible stuff.
Gilly - best of luck with the interview, hope it went well.
BigUn - never give up! Keep those jokes coming!
Hazel Love - a big hug for you. No reason - but you were the first to reply to a comment from me - and that's my thank you!
And Merry Eastermas to everyone else....
Hello all.
Welcome back Chris.
Glad you had a great holiday. We missed you, did you miss us????
Talking of Chrimbo...... 7 weeks today it will be Christmas Day!!!!
I know what you mean about people being younger....I get quite depressed at being 46!!!! I wish I was the age I really felt, which would be around 25. There would be sooo much that I would do differently!!!!
Pics are great Chris. It would spoil the effect if you were actually able to post them!!!!
Laters Peeps.....
hey chris good to have you back
I am 26next week, its weird being in your late twenties all of a sudden. How long leftdo I have of being a young women and have I achieved all I wanted to as a young women?
I havent travelled as much as I wished to do while I was young, but I have accepted my time will come for that once my boy is of age to be left to fulfill his own dreams!
I havent had the career I desire yet working for a charity, but again this must wait until ben needs a little less of me.
This is my problem I feel, I have so much I want to do, my biggest fear is regretting what I havent done, but it all feels to be abit on hold for now. I feel time passing by me and I am unable to completely use it!
However, so far I have had a ball, I travelled africa on my own, I experienced true friendship, I fell in love with a great guy (and out again unfortunately!), I experienced child birth and sang in a jazz band! Not too shabby!
em25x
ps
Chris heard a few interviews with Billie and read an extract from her book, what a cool chick, no wonder you married her!
welcome back chris! oh i have missed you! glad you had a lovely 2 weeks holiday.
don't worry about being older than 007. its a common fact that men are much more dishy at 40. look at george clooney!
can't wait to see the photos!
oh and a big hello to the fellow bloggers. now going to read all your comments. lots of love alex xx
hi chris, great to have you back. your absense coincided very nicely with the two weeks that my broadband went down!!
i too turned 40- a week ago today. i went to new york for a long weekend to celebrate and had a fantastic time. i also feel so confident about my 40's: my life is great at the moment, i have everything i need, which even includes not having that someone special in my life (apart from my kids, obviously) I finally feel as if i have reached a balance and i have the confidence in myself to do so many more things.
sounds as tho you had a great two weeks off - but it will be great to have you back this evening
me again!
GillyM that post is great. I laughed and laughed.
Soozywoo. I've just ordered the racing nuns and my friend is getting the racing grannies. they will be soo much fun after a few drinks!!!!
Did you find 35 is a strange age? not early thirties not late thities but thirties limbo.......
of course that still leaves 65 years to fill assuming I reach my target age of 95
People dont say gosh are you only that age they now say you look good for your age!
But not to worry Im with you Chris, Christmas is coming the snow is falling in the ski resorts all ready for the January joy "Skiing" Hurrah
Really looking forward to the return of the show tonight
well hello young chris nice to have you back and a raring to goooo...
golf ray mears and a gorgeous lady looking at the photo Mange tout
i'm a blogger get me out of here!
laters all
MWAH...
Boy are we glad you are back ! ! ! It's been such a long fortnight, and I have to confess at straying from Radio 2 on my drive home as It just wasn't the same....... There will be civil war if you ever leave your drive time slot!
Sounds like you had a fab fortnight - hope you thought of us !
Just finished Billie's book - you really did save her didn't you - what a bl**dy nice guy you are (well we knew that anyway didn't we). Seriously though you obviously came into her life just at the time she needed someone - just a pity it didn't last SOB! I hope you find Mrs Evans to share your wonderful dreams and expectations, the lovely lady on your photos, who looks like Celine Dion a smidge, might be her...of course there will be millions of woman all around the world heartbroken if you do get wed.
Chris - can't wait to drive home tonight ! ! !
Listen to you later

Good Afternoon Mr C,
Bush Craft and Cookery! What fun. Golf and a stunner as well! Life is peachy :)
Hoorah for holiday second winds!
Yay Chrissy is back!
I was sat in a jam at temporary traffic lights this morning and caught sight of a young father (well he was younger than me (38 ahem)) out for a walk with his young son. Son was quite happily playing with the fallen leaves that had gathered or been swept into large piles, picking up great handfuls and throwing them into the road, then giggling and smiling with every effort. Dad was watching proudly, but trying to gently ease his son further along their walk. It then became apparent that looking down the line of cars at the lights a majority of the drivers were enjoying this scene of innocent enjoyment and happiness. The lights had changed from red to green and back again. No one pressed their horn, or got irate that the cars weren't moving. Just for a moment the drivers were lost in a thing of beauty and wonder, the simple playing of a little boy, sharing a joyful moment with his father. How many of their thoughts had returned to their own childhood and moments spent with their parents? This is what life and relationships should be about, those special moments with the ones you love and that love you. Must phone my parents now for a chat
Glad you had a fantastic break Chris, you deserved it.
Welcome back! We have missed you!
Stuart was great but it really was not the same without you!
So glad you had a fab time whilst we have been working our socks off! Only kidding, all that hard work deserved a break but so glad that you are BACK!
Afternoon All
Great pics Christoph!!!!!!
I have reached the grand age of 35 and at the moment am in limbo - I feel I am at a crossroads with no map and no bloomin idea which way to go!!!!???? It has not been a good year this one, so am quite looking forward to a New Year and New Start if you kno what I mean!!!!!!
Big Un...loved the joke
Happy Monday Everyone........Can't wait till 5pm.........Hurrah he's back.................

Hi Chris and Blogbabes,
Now I have had my rant about Chris being away for two weeks, I can join in the whole age thing discussion!
When I got to forty and was really depressed, a very wise friend said to me that there was only one way to stop getting older and that was to die!
So, whilst I hate being older than everyone, especially actresses who were older than me in the 90s but are now saying they are younger than me at least I am still here!
Chris - a serenade for you.
Since you've been gone, since you've been gone, I'm out of my head, can't take it (other songs about missing people are available).
Those pics are grand. A bit disappointed with 'Ray turns snapper' though as thought it was going to be of him flipping a fish!
The last one of the 'girl I met o Saturday night' appears to be a little suspect in it's clarity though...? D*mmit Chrissie-pye, it looks like you took it off the telly!!!
...and you know I hate to be pedantic, but it's 'bonnet de douche' but why care???? If 'tain't broke etc
...in the meantime...early afternoon. all quiet on the southern front...who needs Daniel Craig? (me but that is another story)
Have just realised, akshully, that it is gone the midday hour and I haven't had a cig this morning. However my colleague has just arrived with a HUGE amount of oriental food so I shall wait until after lunch now.
That's better. Am off to make tea, fetch a tasty biccie for dessert, and pop outside for a short while.
GILLY 4# - didja get the job? when dooya find out? is it gonna be better?
TICKLE 36# - I REALLY need hugs at the moment, so thank you lovely xx
ciao bellas
off to look next door

hi
good to have you back.
i turned 40 nearly two years ago and absolutely LOVE IT!!
you are old enough to have some life experiences but young enough to have soooo much fun.
i was told when i hit the big 40, that 50 was the new 40, so i am hoping by the time i am 50, 60 will be the new 50!! keep adding on extra life expectancy sounds cool to me!!
look forward to hearing some of your holiday news etc later.
love mandie xx
Hello again
I agree with Hazel #51 about 'a girl I met on Saturday', looks dodgy methinks!
only a couple of hours to go, Jezza Vine is now playing the god that is Phil Collins, so I'll disappear and drool

Gill aka Tiggy
Chris, guys n gals
Welcome back maestro : )
Just a quickie from me today (thank goodness for that, I hear you cry).
I completely misread the 'Ray turns snapper' photo title and having followed Chris' suggestion (before he posted the pics) to use our imagination and construct our own images, what eventually appeared as 'the photo' was not AT ALL what I expected .........thankfully.
Hazel Love. I noticed you said you need hugs at the moment - so here are some from me ((((hugs)))).

Once you pop you cannot stop鈥︹︹︹︹︹︹︹logging!
Hazel Love # 639. Not much sleep but the tooth is cured. Now Mrs B has to wait to see the nasher doctor to see what they want to do next. Sorry to here or not as you will not tell that your weekend (other than the band) was not good :-( So a {{{{{Hug }}}} to you xxx
Tickle in Cork # 36. I will do my best but it is getting harder to keep producing a joke a day and remember what I have posted and not :-)
I spent my 40th in Dublin as I did not want a party (boring git) no chance of feeling old though as Mrs B is 2 years older than me so I will forever be the toy buy! :-))
Chris the picture of the golf course in Ireland are you in one big bunker?

Good day one and all.My word what alot ofpeople with the name Jill or Gilly!
I'm sure I'm not alone in looking forward to tonights show.
What excellant photo's the young lady is almost as attractive as Dr Mc Crumbles secretary Denise.
By the way Crumble... Buy my book today, not only a great read but raising money for charity.... What's me prize.
Hi Folks,
Gilly#4 - I hope the interview went well.
Dissing Dave - Thanks for sharing your experience, lovely story xx
Hazel - When is your birthday, I'm 5th Dec - I still get really excited about birthdays :-))
Special hug coming your way {{{{{{hug}}}}}}
Mr E - I too have read Billie's book, what a lovely
honest person she is. Thank's for all you done for her xx It must have been heartbreaking for both of you to part, I think you are two special
people who shared a very special time in your lives xx
Must get some work done so that I can get out at 5........can't wait!
Take care all
Love Mary xx
Happy Birthday and Good Luck with your programme.
mmm....escalopes of pork...
oh yeah...erm, sorry.....forgot what I was doing there for a moment!
Welcome back Chris and thanks for Blogging On.
I'm very pleased you had a great holiday - 'tis a good thing especially considering you wanted to didn't want to go in the first place! I bet your Mum talked you into going, saying something like "go, you might enjoy it once you're there" (all Mum's say stuff like that don't they?!)
Age is a funny old thing. It bothers a lot of people which it shouldn't if you properly consider the alternative (Lawgirlleo #50 you touched on the same). There's only one reason someone stops getting older :-/
BRING ON THE FALSE TEETH AND WRINKLES !...I say. Heck, you only get older than Sports heroes' and Special Agents' ages ONCE....and hardly any of them know anything about secret green sauce and insightful blogs either.
Anyway, our age is only a number and shouldn't have much to do with describing who we are. We all deserve a bit more than that, surely.
(there! I think I've just about convinced myself anyway)
Have a lovely Monday everyone. Can't wait to see everyone's grinnings faces on the drive home later.
C
PS - Is it just me or does it look like Ray Mears is trying to start a fire with that tripod ?....
Hi Chris,
Great to have you back. Lurved the pics, especially the tree and heaven :-) Yes, the lady you met - we need clarification please!! You sound refreshed and ready to blind us all with your brilliance - looking forward to the show this afternoon.
Age - Somebody said that 50 is the new 40 - well that is good cos I am over 50 - and I have to say I dont look it :-) or have people been lying to me. 40 was not a biggy for me but 50 was. I dont feel my age and I certainly dont want to do the teen thing again but I would love to stay around 40ish. I think the trick is to stay fit which I am, I REFUSE to be a couch potato. You are only as old as you feel - I still feel 21 inside so I am good to go:-) Its funny, I have two kids 21 and 19 and I cannot for the life of me figure out how they got to be that age already!!! (Especially since I tell everybody I am only 29 - I was a child bride :-)
GILLY - did you get the job?? I hope it is what you want...keep your chin up, things will get better.
GILLY M and BU - Loved the jokes, keep em coming :-)
Have a great day all my blogging friends
Joannie xxxooo
Chris, I'm 37 now my girlfriend's just hit 40. Take it from us, if you want to feel younger do something that reminds you of your childhood.
We're organising the world's biggest ever space hopper race for testicular cancer and we're calling it BOUNCE YOUR BALLS FOR CANCER.
Get up in the attic, dust off your old orange balls and give 'em a bounce mate. You'll love it and you'll either feel a lot younger, or feel like a bit of plonker.
Either way it'll help us raise 拢10,000 for the Orchid Cancer Appeal.
we're at www.bounceyourballs.org.uk if you want to check us out or join us bouncing in Brighton on Sunday 10th December.
Hiya Chris,
Cool holiday.
Is that a pic of a lovely model on a poster - she looks too good to be a real person!
I tried to ring in a request continually for 2 hours on both all request Fridays, but Stuart Maconie obviously hates me. I hope you'll answer the phone this Friday Chris........
Stuart did do a request for my bezzie mate from school - Maria - though. What's she got that I haven't?
And about getting old - fret not - we are wise. :nodding sagely:
Hi Chris ,
Welcome back .
I will be 38 this week (15th) and for the first time since i can remember , i haven't taken the day off.
Have i grown up?
Help i suddenly feel very old.
Have a great show
Gareth
Hi Chris
Please put me and the rest of the girls in this office out of our misery - did you and the sexy girl really meet up on Sat night. To be honest if you did I don't personally think you would have posted her photo on this site if you wanted to see her again (and let's be honest who wouldn't!) so come on then spill the beans Christophe!
Jxx
Well Chris great to have you back and cant wait to hear the show tonight and all the stories you will have to tell over the comming weeks the photos are great especially the one of the young lady she looks stunning
well this is the first time ive been on the blog (does that make me a virgin? again?) just a word to say Im past the big 40 by at least 6 years and it been quite eventfull I have found a new direction in life and am now reaping the benifits. hope you dont get too despondent at hitting the big 40.
PS the new bond has got a damn good body so I dont mind that hes younger than me.
pps am getting good sex and reading all those books
Good Monday morning!!
I am so glad to see all of you on a fresh new post. Back to business...
Re getting older: I turned 37 this year and I am feeling it in a very uneven way. I get crushes on men as though I were still 21; eat like I am still 21; enjoy going out like I was 21; and still dream about getting a convertable like I did when I was 21. Unfortunately, I wake up the next morning broken-hearted, 10 pounds heavier, hungover, and still driving the sensible 4-door sedan!! Will it ever even out?
Have a great day!
Amanda
CHRISTMAS did you have to bring that up so early in the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pray tell, chris, even if just tomorrow on your blog, what 4 courses you played.
my idea of irish golfing heaven would be to play the k club, obviously for reason of samuel ryder, but just as importantly in the 4....
doonbeg - according to greg norman the #1 links of all
ballybunion, - see above replace norman with watson
the 4th though, open to question.
would it be one of the great courses of northern ireland, or would it be a 4th from the south like the old head of kinsale or the new resort of adare manor
its a trip i will do, i just need to be sure of the itinery
Hi Chris
So excited when I realised it was Monday and you were back. We missed you and are deffinately more than happy to re-engage with such a great entertainer.
Glad you had fab hols.
Love Flo xx
Hi. Welcome back. Am struggling with a clue in today's telegraph Stone Greeting (4)

Welcome back Chrissie baby,
Age just a number and who,s counting, though at 51 I would say that I guess.
Missed your infectious enthusiasm the past 2 weeks.
Come on our team.
Pottsie.
Hello Again, forgot to ask this earlier.
On the way into work this morning I noticed
some of my dashboard lights have gone out.
ie the fuel gauge and part of the rev counter
and heating switches. My first thought was perhaps a fuse has gone but it seems strange
it's only part of it! Help! Anyone any ideas?
Thanks
Mary xx
ps. Chris I agree with my fellow bloggers re the
pic of the female you met last night! :-)
#73 Neil H
crossword clue.....could it be arch? probably not cryptic enough, just thought I'd have a go
Gaby
Mary #75, I'm not a mechanic (but I know a man who is - hi bro!) but I would say that if it's just the lights and the fuel gauge etc is still actually working, then it's probably the bulb in the dashboard that's broke.
Cheap to get bulbs - difficult to get to them to replace them.
If you live in the Hertfordshire area I can recommend a fab mechanic in St Albans (other historic cities are available)
SWx
#72 Neil H could it be Hail - if someone's answered this question whilst my response is going through the wash - sorry.
Gilly M and Mr Big Un - two catholic jokes on the same day?????? Does this mean I can open my Advent calendar yet?
Happy Monday all!

Well peeps, I've hit a crises (yet again!) got in contact with an ex-teacher of mine today through my old school which i left in Julyish 1999.
All of a sudden I descended into a kind of silent panic (I'm at work, i cant turn into a pile of quivering jelly at a moment's notice!) as i realised that i have in fact not done ANY of the things i had always planned to! And i have to say I'm pretty ashamed of myself :-(
My problem, Em 25 #38, is that i feel time passing by me and i dont know what to do with it!! How stupid is that????!!!! Does anyone else know what they want to do when they grow up? All i can come up with is musician and that dont pay the bills right now - boo hoooooooooooo!
Dissing Dave #46, your story brought tears to my eyes and now I'm all hormonal-feeling and likely to burst into tears at the slightest thing....roll on Chris' show to cheer me up!!!!!
ADxxxxxx
Thank you Soozy Woo. I will get it looked at. I'm just outside Glasgow otherwise I would take up your offer, very considerate of you, thanks xx
Take care
Mary xx
Prof Plum
You get the distinction of being the first person to crack the code. Well done.
Watch out for Denise appearing on video in the next couple of days. She may have a special message for you, seeing as how you have been so flattering about her photo.
regards
J McC
Soozy
No apology needed. You aren't the first person to confuse Mc and Mac. Even my own mother occasionally gets it wrong.
J McC
Wow - Des O'Connor is to take over Countdown!
What do we think about that!?
Hi Chris
Please tell us about the girl you met on Saturday night several people on here think she is fake.
I my self think you wouldn't have put her on if you didn't want us to ask who she is.
Lastly will girl on the sofa be upset?
Regards
Nick
WELCOME BACK CHRIS!! Can't wait till 5pm..best work you've ever done IMHO and getting better every week. Dull winter evenings looking brighter now you're back. Cheers!
Mary #76
Just a thought, something similar happened to me once and I had inadvertently knocked and turned the contrast/brightness knob just in front of the screen.
Hope I haven't embarrassed myself too much with that suggestion - mechanics was never my forte - in fact, I'm still looking for it...my forte that is, not my mechanic ...although....
My bday's the 9th : )

Methinks mayhap I have pressed the wrong button again.
Heyho...at risk of repeating myself...
MWK 59# - 30th November, I shall be looking forward to it as soon as the weekend just gone has sorted itself. This may take some time, but heck, I've got 17 more sleeps to try!
(((((THANK YOU ALL FOR MY LOVELY HUGS)))))
They have inspired me to go outside and look at the most spectacular sunset and be thankful for small (!) things. Much better thank you xx Tomorrow is another day to look forward to!
28mins to go and counting...

Welcome Back...we missed you.
glad to hear you enjoyed all your different events. The pork with secret green sauce looks delish...any chancce of the recipe?
Only 15 mins to go and we shall be able to hear all about your hols.
Age is but a number........but I have to say even over here in Canada the policemen and doctors look like teenagers!!
Love karen x
PS.Having become a singleton at the beginning of the year I am reading lots of great books!!!
Mc Crumble.
Thank you for my prize. Just think I personal message from Denise. I'm going red just thinking about it.
It was a tough code to crack but I got there in the end.
Don't worry about middle age, you'll outgrow it
Forty is the old age of youth, Fifty is the youth of old age
I'm just catching up with yesterday, by tomorrow I should be ready for today
Middle age is when you start eating what is good for you instead of what you like
Middle age is like a pair of pants. It creeps up on you
Midlife crisis is that moment when you realise your children and your clothes are about the same age
Here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Chris
W E L L L C O O O M E B A C K!
Hello Chaps and chapettes
Nice to hear from all of you again
Chris - fab photos..John Dory, my fav - Yum!
well, I'm 41 and actually my life is so much better now, anyway Chris, you're still a trailblazer, innovative kinda guy, so what does it matter, I'm so glad you're in a place to go for it....young 'uns - they don't have the wisdom you have. Stay just the way your are.
P.s I'm up for Scotland being represented in Galashiels, what do i have to do?
Lots of Love (bonne da douche! saucy)
Caroline xx
was so excited to get my blog read out..... and then you shattered my illusion Chris. My wobbly belly wont ever be sexy.....? (him in doors calls it my mummy tummy so maybe there is a hint there!) .... suppose i better give up the chocolate and head off to the gym then.
sniff.
Did you hear that guys? Keith, Hazel Love and EmM!!!!! - a mention by the maestro!! - not for the first time Keith ;)

Abigails Diva / Gaby / anyone else,
I apologise if I brought emotion to the surface, but it was a beautiful vision, and seemed exactly the sort of thing that I could share with my fellow bloggers and commentators. A simple thing that was inspirational!
Lord Evans is back in top form today!!
Double YAAAAAY!!
Hi Chris, welcome back!
You know when your getting older when you stop falling over and start "having falls"
cheers Dai
Hazel, the 30th hey, funnily enuf - the day my paella course is booked for!

PS 4 posts in a day, i think i should switch off my laptop.
Anna - sorry, didn't mean to miss you out : )
Dissing Dave - it was beautiful : )

Hello all and welcome back Chris
The picture of John Dory made me want to get in the kitchen. The thing is, I love cooking fish/seafood but actually like eating very little of it - John Dory being a pet hate.
I went to a hugely posh restaurant at the weekend (Andrew Fairlie's at Gleneagles). I love well cooked food and relish it when it is presented to me. However, maybe I had built it up too much in my mind as, whilst I found it good, it was just that. It wasn't OH MY GOD THAT'S FANTASTIC good. It was just good. A year or so ago I went to another posh place in Edinburgh called Martin Wisharts. That was unbeatable.
I am on my own tonight as my partner is house sitting and my son is with his Mum. So maybe I will try and recreate veal escalope in secret green sauce - if only someone would tell me the secret bit :)
Talking of secrets what is the secret of keeping your other half happy? If my partner is from Venus, I must be based in outer Pluto or something!
see ya.
Ian
Gaby I have been told off as well :-( I am just pleased to be in such good company :-)
As for the mention on the show, blush, blush not for the first time ;-)

Hey Christoph Lammy Pie, welcome back!
You could always pick another favourite spy?
Any one of the cambridge lot will do.. they should all be knocking on a bit by now!!
Failing that.. do what every self respecting woman does when she approaches 40...
LIE!!!!
loving the show.. and my daughter grace thinks you only look about my age. dammit.. i'm 30! either you're looking well or i'm not! :)
You know you're getting old when
... you buy sympathy cards in bulk
when your student friends are now teachers
when the ikea catalogue is more interesting than playboy
when the lead singer in the band you loved as a teenager goes in for a hip replacement!
found these and thought i'd share.
this blogging malarkey is alright isn't it!?
its alright gaby, i realised after reading your posting that i never said anything about my fellow mentionees..... its just self self self with me.
sorry all! hurragh for the mentions!
top show CLP.
now i really am switching off!!
PS think i should have the exclamation mark taken off my computer. I have a habit of over exclaiming!!!!!
How fab to have you back ! Sounds if you've had great time. My husband took up golf last year aged 60 +, so thought as I,m only 5o+ Id have a go. I'm not great, but really enjoying learning.
Welcome home Chris.
Good to have you back with me on my drive home. I was feeling OK about being 42 till yesterday when my son turned 15. How can my baby be this old!
Am not impressed with Daniel Craig being 38. Bond is always a grown up who deals in grown up scary things! I cant be older than James Bond I JUST CANT BE!!!!Off to lick the inside of the gin bottle dry.

Have a nice evening all xx

Bonsoir Christophe!
It's good to have you back - we missed you!
I had a milestone birthday earlier this year: I turned 30, and like you, I felt it was no big deal. However, the other day at work, I got a shock. I'm a teacher, and still think of myself as one of the youngsters of the staff room. That was until Phil, the newbie PE teacher dropped the bombshell that he was born in the 80's!!!
I bought my first record in the 80's (Adam & the Ants "Stand & Deliver"), had my first kiss, travelled abroad for the first timeetc. How can I be working with someone who was born then???
Just thinking about it makes me want a stiff drink.
But I'm thirtysomething, and I can't take the ale on a school night anymore...
Hello dear... lovely to have you back...wow! you never cease to amaze me... which is nice... nice is cool... you really just hit the nail on the head every time... (1st tune being the suntan thing, very good man) & you're only 40... bless yer heart... I'm 61... age is cool... the older you get it kind of gets easier to admit stuff... to yerself & others...I guess it's just being truthful... truth seems to get easier with age... nothing to hide anymore & what you see is what you get etc... & you mentioned good sex... well done Chrstophe... sex & stretching & eating & all those lovely things makes it easier... looking back is cool... & Jack Palance has died, he'd be called brutino in Italian... brutino is cool... gorgeous ugly... Mr Rochester... gorgeous... mmm! stay cool.L.Y.D.X.
Welcome back Chris
I can now look foward to my one hour return journey back home from work.
I'm approaching 38 and can't believe I'm the same age as James Bond.
But then it's how young you feel that counts.
Great Show.
Take Care

Hey Chris
I am so into your foraging vibe. 2 weeks ago I found a dead pheasant on the road. A beautiful bird; it looked just like it was asleep. Spurred on by my Robin Hood inspired children I picked it up. I rang my local butcher and he told me what to do with it.
2 weeks later, following "hanging" it in my garage I have plucked it and drawn it. (I did not photograph that bit due to bloody hands!!!) And I 'm only a girlie. RESULT.
Check out the pic on my blog.
There is something so satisfying about really preparing your own food.
My next little project is to make chestnut stuffing with chestnuts I found in a wood.
How about a chestnut feature on the show?
hey c good to have back
as i say if u party every nite it becomes routine[like to have a go at it sometime]
i was born in the golden year too but have'nt got the girl thing sussed as well as u. another Q 4 you. last photo u going to give any more details on this beautiful creature, and does she have a sister lol
good show this evening an c yea

Hello CLP,
Hurray you are back!!
We missed you!!
How Late am I today?? I just could NOT get to a computer till very late and then what with last episode of Spooks to watch.......Well I'm here now!
Should have seen me at my friends house! Was supposed to be helping her with feeding her twins! Went into living room, switched on radio at 5pm and sat in there (with door closed!). for the first 15 mins! Well I couldn't miss it could I? What a corker!
I knew, just knew, without having read it, what the blog was about today when I started recognising the names Chris was reading out on the show! Twas HAZEL LOVEs comment that did it for me! Brilliant! And well done all of you who got a mention!
Great joke Big 'UN!
I am a mere 39. For me, I knew I was getting old when the First Officer AND the Captain of a 747 were both younger than me. :-(((.
This has just happened when I recently went to New York, a few blogs ago. Funny thing was, they were younger than the WHOLE cabin crew that trip:-)))).
After the initial shock, it was very enlightening to listen to them cos they were discussing, (much to the delight of all us "oldies"), how sexy and attractive they find older women! They both said that even though they would never claim to not look at younger women, they go for the older ones! According to them, older women know their own minds, know what they like/want in b*d, are good in b** due to their experience, are comfy in their skin, confident and that all those things are an aphrodisiac for them!! HURRAY HURRAY I thought. Then I remembered they were pilots........!!!!! :-))))))))))))
Lovely to have you back you loverly darling creature. Lurved the holiday piccy's, so kind of you to share them with us! Especially your latest "pin-up"!!!!
Will try my best to get to this at a reasonable time tomorrow - sorry today!!
Love Weezie xxxx

Hi Chris,
I'd like to contact your agent or manager about a TV programme idea i'm developing that I am rather hoping you might be interested in. Can you pass on details.
Many thanks,
