Change of Pace: Change of Blog

For some time, now, I've been considering abandoning blogging altogether ... but I suppose that it's a case of once a writer, always a writer and I find blogging much more satisfactory than trying to contort my work to fit in the spaces allowed in the twenty- first century yachting press.

However, voyaging I am not.  Moreover, this Google account is now almost full, due to the myriad photos I have posted on this blog over the past several years.

For some time, now, I've been considering abandoning blogging altogether ... but I suppose that it's a case of once a writer, always a writer and I find blogging much more satisfactory than trying to contort my work to fit in the spaces allowed in the twenty- first century yachting press.

However, voyaging I am not.  Moreover, this Google account is now almost full, due to the myriad photos I have posted on this blog over the past several years.

My blogging is now heading off on two different trajectories. 

One is a blog that is standing in for the cookery book I never wrote: The Voyaging Vegetarian.  As a book, this has been a generally-stalled project for at least 20 years, but I actually think that a blog might be a better way of presenting it, allowing me to add recipes and ideas as I go and, with luck, respond to comments and suggestions.  For years it seemed something of a hopeless task, anyway, but now that finally people are becoming aware of just how devastating our livestock farming is to the planet, it's time may have come.  Anyway, for those who are interested, head over here and have a look.

The second blog is reflections on my wandering, rather than voyaging life, still afloat, of course, on FanShi.  As I'm quickly running out of Gmail addresses with lots of storage left for photos, to tie the blog to, I've decided to give Word Press a try.  This blog, "Fanshi - Wandering and Wondering", can be found here. Not the most original of names, I know, but I wanted the title to reflect the flavour of what I hope it to be.

I won't be adding to this blog any more, so please don't leave any comments here, but instead post them to one of the new ones.

I hope you find something to enjoy in either or both of them.  And thank your for reading this blog, and for all the kind and interesting comments that have been left here over the years.
