A Sheppard’s Ramblings is back

It came as a surprise to me that it is almost two years since I last blogged. So much has happened since then. This new post is not about the past and is certainly not going to be a nostalgic reminiscence about what has happened over the last two years. I am determined that it is going to be forward looking.

I have realised that the quality of experiences is much enhanced by writing them down. Not only are you able to appreciate the experience more and perhaps enjoy it in greater subtlety, but also it forms a history that can be referred back to. How often do you realise that you cannot remember one day from another. So by reviving the blog I hope to remedy this.

So my objective is to be more descriptive and probably less pontificating than previously (hooray, I hear you say). We have much planned over the coming year, and no in answer to my children, it is not all holidays but a real cornucopia of things. Of course there will also be the unexpected and those events that just hit you from left field. There will also be of course those things that I just want to write about.

So that you are updated below is the latest picture of Marion and myself taken at a wedding in July. As you can see it was a glorious day.

So please make any comments that you would like, suggest topics, or indeed make your own contribution. Sheppard’s Ramblings is back!!!
