Postscript:

It has taken me all this time to realise that I can do what it says above.  For that reason I have left it as it stands.

I started this blog because I had begun to use Facebook to tell about my day. Several friends and family members encouraged me to go further, and Alex Schneidemann told me about WordPress.

I hope to tell anyone who is interested the story of my life, in the present through walking or whatever else happens in the day, and of the past through what is triggered off in my thoughts.  Rambling in two senses of the word.

A diary has always appealed, but it is only in retirement that I have had the time to devote to one, in an age where communication is so easy.
