2007 was an unusual year. First of all, my very good friend Lisa Sanford and I completed the Plymouth-Dakar Rally. It's a bit like the world famous Paris-Dakar, only you take a car that cost £100, which makes it a lot more interesting. Then another friend, Marianne Rugård Järvstråt, set up a publishing company and offered to publish my writing. So I had an excellent idea for a book and a publisher. The result is a rather fine book called "It'll Be Fine". Not content with merely publishing my ramblings, Marianne then offered me the chance to work with her at Bombadil in Sweden, which of course I jumped at.
So there is a ferry booked from Harwich on the 21st November, to Denmark, from where it is either a treacherous or an easy drive up to Nora, somewhere south of Stockholm, depending upon how much ice there happens to be. Fortunately, I have a bit of experience of silly journeys, so it shouldn't be too bad.
I'm still not entirely certain what I'm going to be doing. I understand that there is rather a lot of painting to be done, and some floors to be laid, once the "laminate versus carpet" debate has been settled. Then there is the Spring Festival to organise, with some special guests. And a bit of general publishy fun in the middle.
I'm not going to write m'blog daily - it would be nice, but it's an unrealistic expectation. Probably around once a week, or if something interesting happens. So check in from time to time and see if I'm still alive.
Please note that I shall not be using the word "blog" as a verb, either.
