More About This Website

This blog is a continually evolving site.  I had originally intended it to be a forum for other writers to share.  To read some of my stuff and to deposit their own.  I'm glad to say that a number of you still come by and look at my writing, but sadly nobody seemed to want to take the plunge and deposit their own literary endeavours.  For that reason I am (at least temporarily) no longer inviting writers but will, of course, still welcome your comments and observations - the more the merrier.  See also the section 'Titbits from elsewhere' where I occasionally publish bits and pieces I have come across while browsing and which have caught my interest and/or imagination.  I have just started a new page about property in France.  That is my 'day job' here in the beautiful Charente and as I'm paying to maintain this site I may as well use it commercially. You can read more of my stuff at Helium.com, where I write when I can, and you can find some other Helium Bloggers here.  Keep coming back to see what's new.  You're most welcome.
