Meanwhile back at BBC Radio Suffolk
I don't believe it! Only last week I gave up on my dream.
I told everyone on facebook, myspace and blogspot that I need a new dream and guess what happens?!
It all unfolded yesterday afternoon at around 5pm. I commented on my friend Rob Dunger's status about finding a Roman Path across the River Orwell in Ipswich, which is in Suffolk on the East coast of England.
The River is beautiful and I spent many a happy hour last year interviewing folk who live around or on the estuary for BBC Suffolk's website I wrote under the Places and then River Orwell pages and also the Made In England section.
Anyway, after I left a comment on facebook about the exciting discovery, Rob left a comment asking if I would go to the studio to talk to him about the River Orwell live on the radio. At first I was a little wary as the piece was scheduled for 5.50am today.
But I was mightily tempted and when Mutley arrived home he immediately said I hope you have accepted! So I commented to Rob that I would be there.
Even though it meant getting up at 4.00 am!! I now live 80 miles from Ipswich which is a good hours drive on our roads.
I had a chat with Rob on IM at 10pm last night and then went to bed having made some notes about what I wanted to say. There is lots to talk about and I was able to find a little more information about the Roman Path, but the feature only lasted 5 minutes tops!
You can listen again from the homepage above if you click on Rob Dungers programme. I was on about 40 minutes into the programme.
I have to say I missed the first alarm this morning and managed to wake myself up enough to get up at 4. After a shower I could have left at 4.15 if I had been able to hurry!
Mutley listened online and he said I sounded cool and professional, which really gave me a boost.
It was lovely to see Rob again after almost a year away from the station. I also got a kiss from Mark Murphy, the Breakfast Show presenter welcoming me back so I was well chuffed.
Rob has asked me back on his programme next Wednesday to talk about something else on the River Orwell so that is ace!
