Obssed With The Blog

A Couple of people told me over christmas that they are ' obsessed by the blog'. I dont know whether to be f flattered or frightened by this/ After all. what is the blog but an old bloke in a room with a keyboard, ramblig on about his observations of a Devon village over a 50 plus year period with added bits about the village as it is now as vioewed from the vantage point of a bar stool. Its not rocket science and several other people have told me that they have had similar ideas in the past. It just so happens that I have the time to do it.



If obsession with the blog leads to more then just reading it, I hope that it will lead to nore people taking an active interest in making Silverton an even better pla\ce to live in. The blog has never been just a peice of writing, but also a tool to encourage people to take an active interest in their community. I suspect that we are entering difficult times economically, possibly on a scale that few alive today have ever seen. There may never possibly have been a time in the past century when there was a greater need for communities like Silverton to pull together.

Perhaps that should be our real current obsession.
