Blogs

We happily promote here any blogs you either enjoy or contribute to, so please get in touch using the comment box below to let us know what you're up to and enjoying.

Similarly - why not get inspired to start one if you haven't already!

We would welcome some ‘blogs’ or occasional diaries which record your progress, faltering or otherwise, in areas which are likely to be of interest to other ‘over 50s

For instance:

  • Diary of a newcomer to digital photography, how to choose the kit and how to use it.
  • Diary of a gardener, whether of a really small London garden or landed acres.
  • Diary of a painter, water colour, oils or whatever.
  • Diary of a newcomer to voluntary work 
  • Diary of a genealogist, outlining the process and progress in tracking roots:

As a few examples of different types of essays and blogs are shown below:-
