They Think It's All Over
I've been away from this blog for a long time, mostly working and saving up for my move to London. I'm starting work in Parliament in the next few weeks, which should be exciting. However, I have come to the decision that it would be best to drop the blogging completely, even though I had intended to take it up again around about now.

Mostly it's the time factor, but it's also that I just don't think it's a good idea to blog on my experiences in Parliament, for obvious reasons - discretion is the better part of valour, after all, and my work would end up being the inevitable subject matter.

This blog has been a great experience and I hope it was worth reading once or twice. But now I intend to focus my energy on savouring my time in London, and on developing my music, my art and my writing; if I can't get inspired whilst working there, there's no hope for me!

Of course, I have enjoyed meeting other bloggers and networking a great deal, so I hope to keep in touch. Thanks to all who have had an influence and impact on this blog. Don't be strangers, folks. I intend to leave this blog up for a little while before using this domain for other purposes. Then it'll be no more. So do take note of my email or facebook addresses.

And so... good afternoon, good evening and good night. It has been a pleasure.

Frankly, I think going to London is even more of a reason to blog about it. Open Government and all?

True, but I'm not playing on that side though.

I'm very sorry to hear that, Martine! I had been looking forward to you blogging again!

I understand why you're doing it, though. You could always set up an anonymous blog...

Martine Martin said...
That's a good idea! But I doubt I'll have the time, in all honesty. You never know though.

Thanks though!

Well if you ever feel the need to write a post or two, you're welcome to guest post on my blog!

Shame. Bye for now...

Good luck, Martine and congrats on your position in the Top 100. You'll be missed.

Sorry to hear of your decision, however I am not surprised either. Good luck for the future and enjoy yourself in the Westminster Village.

Martine Martin said...
Thanks, all of you, for your encouragement and support. I'm very grateful!

Yes Martine, you will be missed, but I'm delighted we are in touch via facebook. Can you please let me know what your new position is?

Keep in touch. I find that you can still have an impact without blogging. Best Dom.
