Finally the courage!

After some long and careful thought and some really great encouragement from people like Deborah Dee, Yael , Pia and Annika I've managed to pluck up the courage to give this 'blogging lark' a try.
This is the first attempt at posting something on a site that is 'mine'. Actually it feels quite nice. Certainly without the friendship and camaraderie of the Expats in Italy site, I don't think I would have ever been brave enough to write something as different (for me) as a Blog....
There's a long story to tell about my becoming an 'Alpine Settler'. But that story will no doubt evolve over the next 'little while'. I have, since first coming over in February 2004, maintained contact with all my old friends and colleagues back in the UK. I've sent them what I called my 'BLURB'. It was as good a way as any not to have to write the same news countless times. I just added the personal bits up front each time. But now? Well I can tell them about the Alpine Settler Blog and they can check me out whenever they want. So I'll only have to write the personal bits and send 'em by 'snail mail' or E-Mail.
All I've got to fathom out now is how to get this Blog address onto my posts 'in that other place?????

Ciao Carole! I am so excited for you! I also started my blog as a way for my family and friends to see what I have been up to. It so much better then sending countless email, plus I can include pictures. Best wishes to you and good luck with the blogging! If there is anything I can help you with (like adding links) just let me know.
Cyn
