Welcome to my first blog post!

Well here I am entering the world of blog.

To be honest I’m not really sure what I’m doing, but I’ve decided it’s best to just dive in and hope for the best. It seems appropriate that today’s the first post, as today we cemented our travel plans for the journey to our new life in Galway. I booked our ferry from France to Ireland, and our accommodation for the first night of the journey, which is also my birthday. So it seems it’s all steam ahead with a new job, a new age and a new name. It’s so exciting!

I’ve been thinking a bit about what I hope this blog will be…I suppose a creative stimulus of some kind. A while ago I read ‘The Way of the Artist’ by Julia Cameron, and she advocates an outpouring of consciousness every day in order to release the blocks we have within us. I definitely have fear of putting my thoughts/creations out in the ether, and I wonder who, if anyone would want to read this blog. I terrified myself by reading some great blogs which seem like giants in comparison to my feeble gnat-like efforts. But then I guess it’s all about evolution, and you can’t get big unless you start small and simple. So this a blog at the mud skipper stage, and hopefully it will progress and not become a mutant dead-end (so to speak).
