Writer's Blog

Well, here we are in possession of this bright new Blog, which is now staring back at me and demanding that I start to fill it with something interesting. It seemed like a brilliant idea at the time, to publish my thoughts to the waiting world and wait to become famous.
The question is though, what should I write about. I did think that as a start I would publish some photos of our garden, and did even get to the point of downloading one. However I soon realised that although I have listed gardening as an interest, it is really my wife who is the expert and who knows the names of all the plants. When it came to my adding some descriptive text, I soon became aware of my deficiencies in this field. If you have ever been to visit National Trust properties, then no doubt you will have seen in the shops there that they have things like gardeners aprons and mugs, which have emblazoned on them "Head Gardener" or "Under Gardener". Well I know which one would be mine.
I shall, in due course, come back to the gardening topic, but first I will have to do a little more research. A gallery of photographs without any adequate comments would be a complete waste of time.
Other topics I would like to cover would include the history of the town in which I live. There is some information on-line about Hinckley, but I feel that it has never been done justice to. Maybe there is a view that it doesn't have much to shout about, but we will see. I see that Hinckley United beat Torquay 2 - 0 in the first round of the FA Cup. Manchester United it's not, but how exciting is that!
Tomorrow I shall be having a new computer desk delivered which I am sure will improve my output and enable me to overcome my Writer's Blog.
