I’m increasingly aware that wine, a job, multiple social media channels, regular wine trade events PLUS events spawned by the creative well of my social media friends, as well as a real commitment to building a community around wine online, … plus a young family, … are not compatible with writing this blog regularly. At least not for me.

I’m sorry for those who feel I am not keeping up with this blog (I’ve had a few comments)

I do have a number of articles on the go (the draft folder is bulging) and SO many things I’d love to talk about, I just need an extra pair of hands, a few extra hours in the day, … and, increasingly, some help with the various media channels and daily tasks.

Of course, I’m HEAVILY involved in all sorts of social media every day so you can still hear my ramblings and make any comments you wish, but I thought I had better post SOMETHING to say that it is all ticking along. Honest!

    I do enjoy your comments on Twitter, however it would be nice to see a blog every now and then. Once a month isn’t too much time is it? :-)

      of course not, and as soon as I get back into it properly it will be much more than that.

      In a way, this post was just a way to brush off the Xmas cobwebs. The first time you hit “publish” each year seems to have additional significance, so rather than build up the stress further, I punctured it with a meaningless comment.

      Proper post up very soon

        That is great! I look forward to reading it. I can understand that you don’t have time on occasion. I am in the middle of setting up a business in another country, so more than likely I will soon need to do the same prioritisation.
