About this blog....

When I started this blog, I intended to write something every week; and for almost a year, I succeeded. But just like the old proverb says, the road to Hell beckoned and my good intentions skipped merrily away down it. Then there was Silence.

So I must say 'Sorry' to you, dear reader, for abandoning you without a word of apology or explanation.

OK, that's the grovelling over and done with.

Next, the snivelling. I haven't been well. Blah, blah, blah.

True; but Boring.

So here's the real reason I haven't been producing much here - I'm writing a book!

Yes, really! I'm quite excited about it because I never thought I could attempt such a thing; but here I am with over 50,000 words committed already. It's about my experiences and the fabulous people I met while I spent twenty-five years working at shows and exhibitions across three continents.

And that's why I haven't been 'blogging' so frequently; creating both the blog and the book is just too much to ask of the poor battered brain cell in charge of scribbling.

So here's what I propose to do- from now on I'll post smaller blogs. I'll try to be inspired by whatever I see while I'm out and about; or thoughts that occur to me (don't expect too much depth there, I mostly think about chocolate. And shoes. Occasionally World Peace - er, no, actually that's not really true. Just chocolate and shoes, then). And photos.

I hope that's OK with you. If you would like to make a comment, please do, because I really enjoy hearing from you.

And Thank you for staying with me. I very much appreciate your company. Because without you, there wouldn't be much point in this blog at all.

Yeah!! It will be a best seller Maggie! I love your wit & you are one of the most genuine (& funny) souls I've ever met so I'm sure it'll convey in your book! YOU GO GIRL!

OK - so how is this for coincidence? Kayte's first job ever is running rides at a small amusement park in Seattle. I truly think we must have "carney" in our blood. We just can't seem to escape fairgrounds and carnival-like environments!
