“44 Cookham Road” isn’t
a clever (poor!) attempt at a play on words, but rather, the address of my
Nanna’s home for 37 years and the title of my first ever blog!
Yes, it is true
I am attempting my first foray into the online communication medium that seems
to have taken the world by storm. Being generally behind the technological
8-ball I had no idea of the potential that existed until I started on all of this!
I am assuming you want to know why? Not why I am
behind the technological 8-ball, but why this blog...
Those of you who know me well would agree when I say I
am an accidental investment banker who has an unrelenting
passion/obsession for food, photography and books (oh and the colour red!). My journey until now has led
me to this point, and don’t get me wrong I am not complaining about the various
paths I have been on as I don’t believe in having regrets or looking in the
rear view mirror – everything happens for a reason.
The paths have served me well, my current career
serves me well and I must be somewhat ok at it as I have just been promoted for
the second year in a row - well done me! But somewhere in all those travels on all
those paths I have lost a small part of myself, the creative part, and I miss
it.
So this blog is my space to create. To start writing
for myself (not for the company, the boss, the investors), to put some focus
around practicing my writing and my photography and to get me back into the
kitchen regularly where I used to love to be constantly!
