Introduction

A friend has started doing a blog a day. I have thought about this for a few days and decided that it sounds like an interesting thing to do. So here I am - on the 3rd of January - starting my blog. I can't promise to be endlessly fascinating but I shall do my best.

So - who am I?
I am in my 30's, although it doesn't feel like it!

I have just had a baby. She is my second daughter and is 2 weeks old today. It feels like she's been here forever but the time is slipping by too fast as she will be my last baby. My first daughter is two and a half and a most exceptional human being.

I am a secondary school geography teacher. Although, for this year, it probably won't feature much as I am on maternity leave until September. I would class myself as quite academic. I have an MA in education. But I can't spell so please excuse me the odd mistake.

I knit things. I learnt to knit when I was on maternity leave with my first daughter and I have knitted many random things since then.

I am a musician. I play the french horn in a local concert band. During the course of the year we are going on a tour in Europe.

I think that about sums it up for now. Those 4 things, in that order. I'm probably going to write these blogs on the assumption that no one is reading them but it won't be a diary. So, with many a happy blog to come, I bid you all a happy new year (belatedly). May 2011 be as good for you as 2010 was for me. xx
