Hello, and welcome to my blog!

Once upon a time, I wrote a newsletter for my friends and family in the US to keep up with my doings here in the Peak District of England. This blog is the next incarnation of that newsletter, and welcomes a wider audience than the old email newsletter.

I plan to use this as a place to put my brain dribbles, on any subject that titillates me – this will very much be a mixed-genre blog, not one of those that focuses on a particular subject. Some of these ruminations will keep my friends up to date with what’s going on in my world; some might shed some perspective on the customs and way of things here in this funny old land for readers from any country; some posts will simply serve to share my photos; some, perhaps, might seem to serve no purpose at all.

Hopefully some of it will entertain you, some of it will enlighten you, and some of it will make you think. Enjoy!
