About this blog

Conceit or consolidation. I started blogging in 2010 but started travelling a while before then. More importantly we started taking photos on a large scale in 2003, so I'll probably start there.

If we ever get around to scanning the pics from earlier holidays, then I might add them as well, some time.

Of course I've given myself a problem here - what photo do i use for the blog itself? Do I have a favourite out of the tens of thousands that Julie and I have taken? Should it be something momentous, like our first Correfoc, our first primate, our first volcano, our first whale? Or should I use a photograph of me? After all I'll be in it all the way through. Perhaps I'll change it from month to month. Time will tell.
