Countryfile presenter Ellie Harrison reveals that after 13 years, she is quitting the show in her last ever Countryfile magazine column.<\/p>\n
Ellie wrote "After 13 years, my final column is a fond farewell to Countryfile – I'll miss the people, places and stories.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
"Thirteen-and-a-half years after I arrived four hours early for my first Countryfile shoot, which culminated in me commuting up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) to deliver Matt Baker a sandwich of freshly harvested mushrooms, it has come time for me to bid you farewell. <\/p>\n
"It has been a decision I've drawn out, such is the bond with the programme, and boy will I miss the geography field trips. But like all endings, I'll take all the lessons from these days forward with me on my journey."<\/p>\n
She went on to shine a light on "thornier" issues such as biofuels and meat production, before reminding readers that "our countryside is a gift."<\/p>\n
Ellie concluded by revealing her reasons for leaving the show – to focus on her family, her business and new opportunities.<\/p>\n
