The 'starting flag' is poised for "off", so I figured it was time to check that my blog is in a state of readiness and to share a couple of thoughts with whom ever might get to read this! First, I hope to make my account brief and hopefully interesting. With this in mind, I intend to post 'music links' along the way......from a play list relevant to the places that we visit. I've already posted a link to "Holiday Road" (be warned, this tune seriously 'sticks in your mind!)and below is a link to the Boss'"Further on Up the Road", where I guess we'll meet-up again. I have to thank YouTube and its contributors for providing the links and I hope that some readers find the tracks easy listening.....I should add that whilst I have articulated my intention to do something that sounds inherently simple, the combination of 'new technology' and 'pushing the envelope of my technical ability' could turn this mission into something akin to my being trapped in Dante's vision of the Fifth Circle of Hell!!
