A tentative blog to test the temperature.

Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end.

So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.

A Delicious Video

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2xD3hqKlMyk

Good old YouTube threw this brief video at me yesterday. It really was very kind of them (if I may refer to the programmers behind the app rather than the app itself) since the video reveals something about the aristocracy that is little understood these days, something that I am trying to reveal in my short stories about Her Grace. It is what I call being truly civilised.

Below are links to a couple of Her Grace stories. Yes, it’s unashamed self advertisement but hey, sometimes you gotta do it.
