A slight confession - I actually had a blog before. It was a long time ago and I can't even remember the name of it. It was about my latest diet of the time and the blog, very much like most of my diets, had great intentions initially but after a few days petered out to nothing.
I've decided to try keeping a blog again because we're off to Australia in a few weeks and I want to capture everything so that I can look back in future years and remember what an amazing time we had. This is our holiday of a lifetime, we're unlikely to ever have a holiday like this again and I've been researching and planning it in one way or another for about a year!
I've also noticed that my memory is rubbish. I can hardly remember any of my school years, nothing from my childhood and even my uni time is pretty vague! Now I'm not sure if it's just an age thing or whether I've just never really tried to remember but I want to make sure I keep a record of our trip.
So this blog will begin around the planning of the trip - and there's been a lot of that, the holiday itself and then hopefully I'll catch the writing bug and will carry on after we get back.
I want to write about things I love. Now that is mainly food. I follow Nigella Lawson on Twitter (if you don't follow her I highly recommend it @nigella_lawson) and I love the way she posts pictures of the food she's cooked. I also found a wonderful blog on breakfast cafes in Sydney as part of my research. The writer and her family visit a different place for breakfast every Sunday and write a review with pictures, Sydney on Sunday. It was great.
Now Jim and I cannot go out for breakfast every Sunday. Firstly because we don't have the money, secondly because we don't live in a city so local options are limited, thirdly because most Sundays we don't get out of our PJs until lunch time but mainly because our weight watchers leader would not approve! But I like the idea of taking pictures and describing the food we eat, so who knows, I might stick with it in some fashion.
So, please be patient with me whilst I get into this and waffle on a bit!
