If I were to advise anyone on starting a blog I would suggest choose your garden as a topic. It's not a sexy subject and you won't get invited to cool hipster events on the back of it. The advantage however, and it's a big advantage, is that you don't have to go hunting for something to fill your posts with - it comes to you.
An August Rainstorm - it's not sexy, and I won't be going to a cool hipster party because of it, but goodness it was mildly exciting there for a moment.
PS My son is currently at Leeds Festival. Do you think it will be worth washing the muddy clothes coming my way, or should I just throw them in the bin?
