A quite return to blogging

Well it's been some time since I did this and even longer since I did this for the first time, so I thought I would start quietly and not advertise the fact that I'm back.  Lots have happened over the last year and with all that going on I've never had the time to post, much as I wanted too. Now that the business is going well and I'm a bit more organised I thought it was time to restart this blog.  The problem for me is that now I'm a business owner, I feel I need to be a bit more careful over what I write and the opinions I share, I really was not that bothered upsetting my employer, but now I'm the boss it's a bit different. So I won't be dealing with subjects like sex, religion and politics, well not too often.

Dock of the day.

Could you imagine a better spot to spend a sunny afternoon, you could just sit here and watch the world go by. Having a house that backs on to the canal myself (although from 3 fields away) I can appreciate how great it must be to have the canal at the bottom of your garden, for us seeing the first boats moored up in the spring is a definite sign that the winter has ended and from then on it’s an ever changing scene of boats and people until the autumn. Having your own mooring and boat, even one this small, must be fantastic, imagine a late summer evening, your friends sitting on the dock and sausages cooking on the barbecue, and a bag of beers cooling in the canal. ---------------- Now playing: Fatboy Slim - Right Here, Right Now via FoxyTunes
