and so (inauspiciously) it begins

and so it begins 

'horsemouth writes about where he is (the golden valley, herefordshire), where he lives (mostly), but he doesn't do it in much detail. you know that he goes attempting to learn bell-ringing, you know that he goes for walks on the common, you know that he sometimes goes down to unlock the abbey, you know that he makes use of the local bus services to visit hereford or abergavenny, you know that he makes use of the trains to visit london (the wen). he has mentioned the chickens, the garden, and such wildlife as he sees...'

horsemouth's blog dates back to june 2013 but an earlier one on myspace dated back to 23rd of november 2006. 

at some point it became a daily thing on facebook and then, in about 2020,  when facebook abolished the notes tool it became a daily blog on blogspot. 

soon horsemouth will celebrate the twentieth year of his blogging. 

in a bit horsemouth goes to open up the abbey. 

tomorrow the solstice.
