As my blogging heart bleeds I type with hope for the future, as I announce the end of the Breakfast Blog. The blog has seen me through the start of my radio career and been our vouce for some key events that the Breakfast team has experienced.. Some planned and others not. For example the morning after Michel Jackson's unexpected death. The relentless Breakfast tour along with the ridiculous tour bus!, meeting Whoopie, Napa!!! Oh & that 'Duffy' moment too!!! What a joy it has been.....
ARrrr enough of the self indulgent reminiscant twaddle and on to the next one!
The future is ..... drum roll please............ FACEBOOK! It was hurting our feelings that it'd have to take an age to sign in and comment on blog entries, then it would a wee while for us to post up pictures too. It's important that the party continues.
EXCITED.

We have allowed ourselves until the end of the week of feeling celebratory about bagging the Silver award for the Best Breakfast Show at the Sony's last night. The Sony's is the equivalent of the Radio Bafta's!?The gold was given to ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio 4's today show.. So we didn't feel to shabby at all! A big look for the entire 1X Breakfast team...(Big hugs to Ruby, Raeph, Janine & Julie, Ryan - we'd be nada without ya)...
BUT!!!
Our joy was scuppered with shock when Trevor was awarded the Gold award for being a champion of music & basically a legend of radio! It was so, so so special.. It was at the end of the night and we had no idea until a huge pic of the Nelson came up on one of the multiple screens, then a gospel choir sang to him.. His speech was also very special.. I cried my eyes out. Well done Nels, you deserve it! See our vid.. You can literally see Trev's eys pop out his sockets!

So, the listeners dared me to wear Gaga style pants, I just couldn't go through with it! Sorry.. But I decided to to go for blue lips as inspired by Beyonce's new video. As brash as wearing a pants? Pretty much..... I still can't even decide what I think of it.. but it was fun! Fans include Fearne Cotton, Lauren Laverne & Huw Stephens.. at least.
So at exactly 6.15am this morning I was standing on a table in the office posing for various photographs in my new pantalones (trousers basically).. and Trev walked in.. Happy to be reunited...

P.S One line to describe my bottoms today..."They remind of what my nan would wear on the beach in Barbados" Said Ryan from the team.. whilst cracking up about my tropicana pants.
