This will be the third blog that I have started. I began the first one soon after we moved to Australia and that was reflected in its content. It was very much ‘An Englishman Abroad’, with me attempting humourous observations on life Down Under like a third-rate Bill Bryson. I began the second blog years later as I attempted to discipline myself into writing on a regular basis. For a year and a half I posted a short story every two weeks, like a second-rate Stephen King. Much of that material found its way into ‘The Listening Book’, the imminent publication of which has been the catalyst for me fixing the punctures on my internet bike and setting out on this, my third blogging journey.
So let’s see where we end up this time, as I share reflections on life, faith and stories, hopefully – this time – as a first-rate me.
I’m really looking forward to reading your blog! I have started many blogs, but then I chicken out or get too busy. I’m really happy to be able to stay connected with you, though. I miss Canterbury very much, and hopefully one day we can go back and see you.
