Why a blog ten years after everyone else?
And why does your blog look so rubbish?
Well, I am technologically hopeless, and am hoping to improve the look of said blog
And the truth of the matter is I enjoy writing. And since hanging up my journalism high heels a few months back, my writing has mostly consisted of notes to teachers, comments on other people's blogs, notes to teachers and Mumsnetting - soon to become a recognised verb.
And notes to teachers.
The title Writing from the sideline, is really the best I could come up with and it took me a long time to think up.
Yes, really.
It comes after an inspiring coffee, walk and window shop with my friend Monique who writes over at Each day a gift.
We were talking about how we both are watch from the sidelines kind of people.
And that's where the title came from.
I was briefly tempted to call it Judging from the sideline.
But. Yeah. Decided against it. Not because it's not true you understand, but because I am a Christian and judging is a big no-no.
So here we are.
Stick with me - it can only get better?
