Ok, so here goes- my first atttempted at writing a Blog. They've been around for ever, but I've only just thought about starting one. I'm just getting the hang of it, so it is rather boring at the moment. I have no links or fancy gadgets.
It took me the best part of an hour to figure out how to add my own background. That's Caerlaverock Castle, by the way. Near my Granda's home town of Dumfries and where a few of my family tree's branches can be traced to. I'm very proud of my heritage and that is why I have taken on the pen name, "Border Reiver".
I am an all round amateur. An amateur genealogist, an amateur historian, an amateur linguist, an amateur reviewer and an amateur writer. Luckily these traits can all be nicely blended together to make an enthusiastic storyteller with lots of fodder to feed off.
My main reason to start a Blog is as a platform to promote my own writing. Unfortunately, I am... er... a bit of an amateur and haven't got round to... er... writing. Not to worry. In the meantime, I plan to review bits and bobs I've read, seen or heard, and hopefully, once having given myself a little kick up the backside, I'll also get around to sharing some of my own creations.
