Welcome to my new home

Okay, here we go again. I have already done this once, previewed it, tinkered with the colours, previewed again then closed it, thinking my first new blog was in the bag. Hey presto! it's nowhere to be seen and cannot be retrieved.

The gist was this - that here will be my new online home - the 1930s Mock Tudor abode of Vic Templar, writer of this parish. A place to keep one abreast of Templar's news and thoughts as they occur. Firstly, Taking Candy from a Dog, Templar's 2010 novelised memoir of a 70s childhood and family life long since sold out, is going to be reprinted by the good folk at Blackheath Books before the winter has run its course. There are also plans for an e-Book so that all you Kindle types can read my masterpiece (insert appropriate smiley).


Templar's pen has not lain dormant since his myspace blog fizzled out (anyone remember myspece - them were the days, eh?) and I propose to type up some of the jottings from my notebook over the next few weeks.

So, glad you could swing by. This site will always be best viewed with a cup of tea and a slice or two of cake. Make friends, follow, or whatever they do here, and comments, if not necessarily hearty debate, will be welcomed.

Welcome to my world. If it were a piece of music it would sound like this. Do come in and make yourself comfortable.
