Good Fortune Favours the Brave

This is a short New Years story. It fits between the end of the first book and the start of the next:

Good Fortune Favours the Brave - A short Mallory story..

Revelations

"Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!" ("King Lear")

Why do people write blogs - ego, financial reward, to gain friends and followers ??

Why are blogs so popular - they have spread like dandelions on a grassy verge, but some are as dull as ditchwater.

I often subscribe to their updates because they look promising, only to be regaled with daily tales of "got up, looked out of the window and cleaned my teeth".

Ely - its quite appropriate that the Revelation and the start of the journey should occur in the Fenland city of Ely - in the shadow of the "Ship of the Fens", a name often used to describe its gothic cathedral.

A journey ? - Where are we going ?

I've no idea - all the best journeys have no destination.
