About

I have some other blogs which are generally speaking specific to a topic or closely related topics. The longest established is Note Book which I started in 2009 and is still loosely connected to my previous work as an academic teaching sociology at the University of Leeds. Over the last three years I have become interested in a number of other things – I’ve joined a U3A reading group and taken to cycling and walking for transport and leisure as well as a way of keeping fit. I have also sold the two motor bikes I’ve had for about the last 10 years or so – both Suzukis; a DRZ400 off-roader and a 1250 Bandit – and replace them with a Moto
Guzzi 7II 750cc V twin. I am also dabbling with writing poetry and fiction but this is barely started yet – mainly a few ideas. Finally, I’m considering joining an art class next January. What, if anything, comes of all this will, one way or another, be the focus of this blog.
