Goodness me, it has been a while since I’ve blogged, hasn’t
it? I said there might be longish gaps between
musings, but I didn’t expect to go through virtually the entire flat season without
writing. The problem, as so often, is
women. Well, one woman. I may not be out-manned, but by crikey I’m
outgunned. So, I’m sorry if the absence
of my thoughts has bothered anyone, but it is for happy reasons.
Although this blog will have a strong flat racing bias, I’m
likely to do more writing through the winter, simply because I have more
time. I try to get to the course as much
as I can over the summer, and that is a time-consuming hobby. There are just two meetings left for me this
year – Newbury tomorrow, and Newmarket on the 2nd November. Over the winter, I’ll be digesting a long
season’s work and preparing my mind and my notebook for 2014.
Today’s blog is about what I plan to do with my off-season, and
why I think you should do the same.
