For our redesign for the October 2014 issue, I was absolutely delighted to have Terry Wogan as a new columnist. The legendary broadcaster had a holiday home in Gascony for more than 20 years, and had a real affection for the area and France in general. The column came on the back of a ‘My France’ interview we had been chasing for years, so to finally get that, and then have him agree to write the column was very exciting. Sadly the column came to an end in summer 2015, and on his death in January 2016 it made sense that he had wanted to end it sooner than expected.
