Back into blogging - to blog or not to blog

It has been a long time since I visited these pages, let alone wrote anything here. I've tried actual handwriting a diary since Chile but the content only seems to be of interest to me as I'm writing it. After all, who wants to get stuck into the fine details of what I've eaten in a day, where I've been or how many and which birds I may or may not have seen? Being obsessively over-ethical in such jottings, I am inclined to leave out people-based observations just in case I write something which can be used in evidence against me at a later date.

Keep an eye on my progress 'dear readers' (unlikely to be any yet), to find out whether I take a different approach as Humphrey, Phil and I head off Down Under to visit Holly and Pete in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia - yippee. Only the rest of today and tomorrow to go and, snow willing, we head for Heathrow and the other side of the world.
