PINNED NEWS - January 7th 2022

When I first started this site, back in 2015, it was just a way of leaving behind me a record of my life, year–by–year, so that my children and any other nosey so–and–so could find out a little bit about what I had done. It all stemmed from that occasion in 1998 mentioned above.

Unfortunately, for anyone reading this, things I do tend to expand and what was going to be a simple chronological story about my life and some of my ancestors, started to grow into something a bit bigger.

"Tashy Who" tried to explain who I was while "Tashy Did" gave that chronological record. Then I started to write about my travels in "Tashy Travels", upload a photographic record of my current life in "Tashy Sees", have a monthly blog called "Tashy Does" and, finally, explain my taste in music which had always been such a large part of my life in "Tashy Hears ".

Obviously it all got too much when trying to fit it in with the rest of my life. Had I been a normal old person, I would have retired but normal has never really applied to me. There are quite a few other things I do.

So, at the start of 2022, I have decided to sort things out, at least on this site. Here goes:-

1. "Tashy Who": will remain unchanged, probably for ever.
2. "Tashy Did": will also remain as it is for at least a couple of years.
3. "Tashy Travels": if all goes according to plans then this section will start to have more entries from September 2022 when I plan to embark on yet another of my little (haha) journeys.
4. "Tashy Sees": all present entries in this section will be archived and it too will resume from September 2022 with photos from my journey.
5. "Tashy Does": as above current entries will be archived and I have decided that rather than a set of written materials I will give you a vlog, hopefully weekly.
6. "Tashy Hears": during the next month, by Easter 2022, I will complete my list of my current favourite music.
