Opening message

My very first blog post! Yay! Ok - I lie. This is actually my second blog post. I started this blog a few months ago but have been too timid to out myself as a blogger as yet, partly because deep down I doubted my ability to commit to it, but mostly because I was afraid it would be crap. However, things have changed. I have told my perfectionist side to shut up (well, after I deleted my actual first post - really, it was v.v. bad though) and I've decided that I'm going to have a go, no matter how bad the writing is. The tipping point came last night as I read Quilting Mick's blog for the first time and in particular her moving post titled Can You Imagine Us Years from Now and I realised more than ever that blogging is about making connections with people.

A word about the title of this blog: Beth Bynnag is a Welsh phrase which means 'anyway'. I lived in beautiful North West Wales for six years and consider it my second home. I am actually going back there next week for a family wedding. I'll be sure to blog it.
