Why blog? Everyone’s doing it, that’s why, and if the opinions of every second snot-nosed know-nothing urban man-child can find a home on the internets, then the musings of a trivia-laden middle-aged bloke in the sticks surely can, too.
The title of this blog stems from those stories you hear of people who refuse to use the good china, or wear their best clothes, for fear they will be ruined - and then they die without having ever enjoyed the wonderful things they'd acquired or been given. Well, Mrs G and I determined long ago that we wouldn't do that. The best Denby china we got for our wedding has been in use from the day we got it, and still is, nearly 15 years later.
So, this blog is a bit about making choices which capitalise on the best of what you have, not conserving it for some obscure future. At least, that's what I hope it might turn out to be.
