A bit of a gap

My last post  on this site was 13 years ago!  In my first post I said

One of two things will happen now. I'll either drop into a habit of writing here or, more probably, my very low boredom threshold will rear it's head (and say stop mixing your metaphores) and I'll make a few entries and forget it.

Time will tell.

Well time has told! 

I really did forget it.  A few days ago I thought I'd have a try at a blog and tried to register the name "Aethelric" on blogger but as told it was not available.  So I checked out the blog - and it was mine!  It took me a while to get back in but here I am.  Quite a lot has happened in the last 13 years.

• My wife Pat died
• I retired
• My daughter got married 
• I took up my old guitar and harmonica, sang in public for the first time in my life and and started performing with my friend Hugh Price as a blues due called "Greyhound 61"
• I moved from Scotland to Cornwall
• My son emigrated to Australia and married his girlfriend
• I got married to Linda.
• We formed an acoustic duo and perform as "Tin Taxi"
• My dog Bruno died.
• I bought a camper van (Mazda Bongo) and traded it in for my current van, an Autosleeper Nuevo.
• We travel around the country visiting and performing at folk festivals.
• I sold my Honda Deauville, restored my BMW R65LS, bought and sold a Royal Enfield Bullet, bought and sold a Royal Enfield Himalayan, bought a Suzuki Address 110 scooter.
• We have been isolating due to Covid 19
• We have a new dog, Meg

Will I be a more consistent blogger now? 

I started doing a bit more two years ago in 2018 and I have moved quite a few posts from my other blogs to here.

Time will tell (anyway at least now I know how to spell metaphors!)
