Hello and welcome to
Tatty’s Take – the online newspaper column.
As you may, or may not
know, I have been successfully participating in this so-called writing and
publishing lark for a good number of years now, but as I enter my seventh decade
spinning around on this glorious planet of ours, I thought it was high time I
looked for a change in direction, hence the creation of Tatty’s Take.
Now before I go on, you
may be wondering what on earth has happened to the site that used to appear at
this address, namely Uncle Tatty Remembers? Well it is still to be found on the
internet at www.tattys-thoughts.blogspot.com.
Sadly postings had become a little thin on the ground in recent months, so
maybe now is the time to try something new and digress.

So where did the idea
originate from? In truth I have always fancied the idea of becoming a newspaper
columnist and having a vehicle to fire out personal opinions on this, that and
the other (OK, so maybe we’ll leave the other well out of calculations for now!).

Although the series is
maybe not quite BAFTA award winning material, it did make me think of how much
I would like to be in a similar position, but without the teenagers or living
down-under parts maybe. I figure that even if nobody actually reads my musings,
it would still give me an opportunity to get things off my chest. The only
thing I would add at this time is that do not expect all postings or columns to
be of the full 800 words, or anywhere near it come to that.
So hold on tightly, the
road may be bumpy and the ride could be somewhat white-knuckled, but hopefully
we will get wherever we are going safely in one piece. You have been warned!
Back soon

P.S. you may be
interested to know that this column has been the grand total of 472 words –
somewhat of a way to go to keep up with our Aussie friend methinks!
