Well thought I'd type out my ramblings here to save on wasting peoples time on the forum reading my waffling posts - at least here you choose to click on my blog and read it so I cannot be blamed for boring anyone.

I am very new to astronomy - something I have wanted to get into for a very very long time but put it off as I know what I am like and it would become all consuming and my marriage for a start might not have coped - until now - I have twin girls coming up to 2 years old and I think my husband realises that this is a good switch off for me so game on.................

I have started on a basic astronomy course at my local Observatory and loving it - its only for 8 weeks but I cannot wait for each Friday to come. We have covered inner and outer space and have just been like a big kid. I am 40 this year but feel 14 :D

I am having to save cash for a 'scope and don't want to jump in and buy just anything so I am saving and reading everything I can to learn what is out there but its mindblowing isn't it! I am buying some binos this month so they will have to keep me happy until I make the big purchase.

I hope my wafflings won't bore you all and they will be very basic wafflings but I guess I may seem more interesting the more I learn.
