Desperately hoping that last couple of gift items arrive in time. We had an early Christmas dinner to account for seasonal absences. All went well, and even I managed to be a little festive! Got some incredibly nice Bristol Blue Glass items as an unexpected gift. Can't help but think that they're far too good for my humble abode. Later, some pretty intensive planning for the next couple of weeks keeps me awake far too late.
I've had a home on the web for more years than I care to remember, and a few kind souls persuade me it's worth persisting with keeping it updated. This current incarnation of the site is centred around the blog posts which began back in 1999 as 'the daylog' and continued through my travels and tribulations during the following years.
I don't get out and about nearly as much these days, but I do try to record significant events and trips for posterity. You may also have arrived here by following the trail to my former music blog Songs Heard On Fast Trains. That content is preserved here too.
