Parental Approval

April 20, 2008 · Filed Under This blog · Comment 

My folks dropped in here the other day, said that they enjoyed reading my blog, and that they like the journalistic style of the post I wrote for Joe Tangredi over at Volette.com.

Even though I’m no spring chicken at 43, it’s still nice to get the nod of approval from my mum and dad, so many thanks to them! They seem to think I should have a go at selling my services as a sort of Italy correspondent or ’stringer’, as I believe the expression goes - does it not Joe! Not a bad idea - maybe I should have a go.

I admit to being a little nervous as to what my parents would make of my blogging efforts, seeing as both are sticklers for good grammar and all that. And, my father was not too keen on the fact that I start the odd sentence or two with the dreaded ‘and’. Naughty me! Won’t stop me though, as you may have noticed!
