I went to a seminar on monday and heard that a new blog is born every 2.5 seconds….
It was suggested that you should only start a blog if you are committed and prepared for the long run. So I found the blogger inside me and decided to join the millions of people out here in the blogospehere. The first post i guess for some is the most important, but for me i guess it is the continuation of the blog that is important. I don’t want to be another dead blogger who gave up because i lost interest.
So what i am going to do – well firstly share my thoughts and life events and general activities, some maybe questions around work or just life in general. But mostly i want to enjoy the blogging experience and when i feel i am more comfortable, i may expand my blog a bit more. One step at a time…
It took me some time to decide whether to not to start a blog – not sure why? But the reason took the plunge is because i think about stuff all the time and sometimes i loose track of my own thoughts so at least for me this will be a record and a way to look back. On the subject of looking back, the thing that tipped my decision was look at a photo on my phone of my son Ewan. It was a snap shot in time and i thought well at least a blog could provide a snap shot of my thoughts, so why not.
So for anyone who actually reads this first post (other than myself) I hope that you come back and share your ideas and thoughts by commenting where appropriate.
I firmly believe that we can learn something from everyone we meet, this blog gives me an opportunity to reach further than my normal social network.
One last thought, we had our first strawberries the other day, they were superb. Does growing food yourself and putting effort in make it taste better, or is it the organic approach? Either way i need to get some clotted cream to go with the rest š
Welcome to the blogosphere Carl!
What’s the picture of?
hmmmm… I like the idea of a snapshot in time of your thoughts and I think it’s interesting to see how your thoughts and views can change over time. Up until now, I’ve always written my thoughts down on paper, particularly if something is troubling me, it helps to stop my head from spinning and often I find it sorts my thoughts out and clarity emerges.
I might have to have a go at this blogging myself..
Hey Carl
Welcome to the blogosphere.
Looking forward to reading…
Home grown food definitely tastes better. We’ve started trying to log (although rather slowly) our veg growing at http://vegetabloggle.wordpress.com/
Looking forward to reading more soon…
Martin, thanks for the welcome. Not sure where the picture is, it came with the theme, i want to put my own picture in there but i don’t have any decent pictures on my laptop. I will change it soon though for something i have taken/made
Thanks Tim, love vegetabloggle, i have added it as a link.
Thanks sarah, you should have a go at this as well, it is already very addictive….

I have now updated the image on the blog with something my wife took.
It is the Gap of Dunloe, Killarney, Ireland.
