Back Again

 After about 6 months ‘off’ blogging, I’ve decided to start writing again. This is my 4th iteration of a blog since I first started blogging, back in 2019. Every now and again I just get a bit fed up and take a break, and then come back to it again. They always follow the same format, an online diary. A place to put my photos, and a bit of a journal about what I’ve been doing. What a story they’d tell if I’d kept my original one going for all of these years. 

It was unfortunate that I decided to take a break from blogging when I did. I was just about to embark on a 4 week sabbatical from work, to coincide with the school holidays. I spent 4 weeks on adventures, with a holiday to Wales, and visits to all sorts of local attractions, and a spa in the Dales. I even bought a selfie stick. I know, I should be ashamed. 

The problem was overwhelm. A busy workload, social media overload (I’ve been taking a break from that too), and life in general. It all conspired against me, and something had to take a step back. I didn’t totally give up on my hobbies though, I got plenty of crochet and reading done in the time. I guess I started to feel obliged to post about my days, and actually I just need to remember, the blog is for pleasure not for business, so I don’t need to feel at all obliged by it. 

While I wasn’t blogging, the platform I was using went defunct, and I’ve lost all my old posts too. Unfortunate, but thankfully I do keep most of my photos, and even print a lot of them (old school), so it’s not too terrible. Memories aren’t made on the internet. 

Anyway, here I am, back at it, ready to share my adventures all over again. Hopefully some of my old readers will find me again, and I’ll try my best not to go MIA all over again.
