On reading back over the blog, it was clear that an increasing number of my posts had become nasty in tone, full of complaints and grouches about various issues. That was not my intention when I started the blog.
Any comment on the reasons the blog turned out this way would be no more than a sustained complaint, so I will refrain from any comment.
I will say that I do like being the person who can write nothing but complaints, being by nature a forward-looking, optimistic, positive person.
I may be taking a break from writing the blog but I intend to continue with the grass project, working closely with partners (government and private bodies and sports clubs, etc.) who engage actively and with sincerity.
