People seem to enjoy my musings on Facebook whenever I post stuff about my holidays, short breaks, day trips and so on. As a recently retired bloke it is maybe time to take this blog malarkey a step further and produce a blogging site of my own, free from the annoying stuff you can’t avoid on Facebook and concentrating on things that interest me. They may well not interest anyone else and let’s face it, anyone talking about trams is going to have a limited audience, but hell, I’ve got some time on my hands now and I’ve developed a fondness of writing about stuff I find interesting. Travel is first and foremost amongst that and I hope to be doing a lot of travelling over the next few years. Those travels will at times combine my other interests – I’m a self confessed avgeek – that’s aviation enthusiast to the uninitiated – and as such the journey is sometimes the destination, I also enjoy sporting events, particularly Ice Hockey and Cricket, and discovering new stadiums and arenas. Most of all though, I enjoy seeing the world, from the splendid United Kingdom where I reside to places completely alien to me. Chernobyl in the Ukraine, Fraser Island in Australia, the Timanfaya lava field in Lanzarote and many other places have captured my imagination over the years. There’s plenty more to see and write about and I’m hoping plenty of time to do it. After all, I don’t need to do any of this any more.
I spent 37 years controlling aircraft. This was the last seconds of the last session of my last shift. I loved the job but it is now in the past. Let’s see what the future brings.
Glad to be Grey
