All Things Must Pass - George Harrison

There is an 'almost' unanswerable question that each of us must ask ourselves at one time or another which is, "how long do I have left"? Not one that is asked with any frequency here, but with still a million things to do before departure we are ever aware. With this in mind, the time has come to 'prioritise'! As can be seen, this very day we notch up our 600,000th HIT, which is an ego trip in itself, but there is much more to it than that. When we first took to the airwaves back in August 2009 our 'Recording Area' consisted of the Whole World, with much of it being brought to your front parlour, while today it is made up of just 1500 acres of East Dorset. In the process of downsizing this has generated some difficulty in finding fresh and interesting subject matter and by consequence generates repetitiveness and fact is we still have to commit the 10 most vibrant years of my life to memoir, then something has to give. Not that we think any of the select few are ever going to be that interested enough to read it, but a project that was started back in 1999 simply has to be completed!   
We choose finish in exactly the same way that we started, with this image of a

HEARTFELT THANKS
to each and everyone who ever 'clicked' on our Link.
 Farewell, Hüvasti, Orevwa, Wadaeaan, Adiós,

Do Widzenia, Au Revoir, Довиждане, Hwyl Fawr, 
 Auf Wiedersehen, Hamba Kahle etc, etc.
GOODBYE!

  1. Jeepers Bagsy! I had a notion this day may come but this took me by surprise. I'm sure I echo the sentiments of every single person who has dipped into your Blog over the years and say it has been an absolute pleasure and joy to read. Always entertaining, always with a wry look on life and some utterly stunning photos to boot. It is a part of my daily routine when I get home from w**k and I'll miss it. Take care, greatest regards, Bomber.

  3. It has been a good job well done Bagsy, and I shall begrudge you not on your decision, but I shall miss my daily visit to East Dorset. If I get back to the other side of the Atlantic would you show me the great bugs and birds of Dorset?

    Cheers,

    1. Thank you for that Sire and an Open Invitation awaits, what a thrill to meet such a long time reader from across the Pond. As I have noted to Bomber and Roy, there maybe an occasional Post when something good turns up so please keep an eye open. Thanks again with my Best Wishes Bagsy

  4. Gents, I will address and Thank you both together (and also include John Gifford) as Birds of a Feather always on the side-line waiting to Help, Correct and Educate me as never too old to learn. If/when the occasional 'goodie' arrives here I may well stick it on the Blog, so maybe worth dabbling from time to time. Finally, I'll reflect Roy's sentiment and "hope to see you ALL around Dorset at sometime". Thanks again Bagsy X
