Creating my blog

With typical British understatement, I have to admit to a bit of a disaster in creating my blog and have had to start over.  I'm working through recreating the early posts - mainly for myself but also for friends back home who would otherwise miss out on my activities.  

Bear with me - I'm trying to do a few each day, so (only if you're interested, of course) please keep checking to see my 'latest' backdated posts as well as the new ones!
