Reading her blog made me wonder why I blog. Her’s is so obviously useful both to herself and to others. I’ve read other ‘blogs with a purpose’. Now Michael Flowers, who leads a group of us birdwatching each week, has a blog.

I don’t really have a purpose. I’m partly writing because I just love writing. I don’t even think of anyone reading it.

At the same time, I think ‘I’d better not put such and such in, in case so and so reads it and is upset.’ So it ends up as the inconsequential twitterings of a silver surfer. Oh well! That’s why it’s called SeriousLight! I can’t believe all the hits I’ve had since I started. Who are you all?
