Disenchanted.....

...with being disenchanted.

Life is good. I know I like to have a grumble and moan here, and that's the point of the blog, but really, I'm sick at tired of petty grumbling (he complained). Sometimes living here on the Isle of Wight we forget just how lucky we are to live here, and instead spend our time complaining about the cost of housing being pushed up by holiday home owners, overners (like me (an overner that is)) etc., the high cost of the ferries, the poor standards of the local authority, the lack of facilities at the hospital (like any other population of under 135,000 has there own general with A&E, maternity etc. etc.). I know there are issues with some of these things, but if we *just* complain endlessly, does that really help?

So this post is dedicated to the fantastic beaches, vibrant arts scene, vast array of festivals and activities, laid back attitude, fantastic countryside, friendly people, great restaurants and cafes, hundreds of miles of footpaths and bridleways, brilliant off road cycle tracks and fantastic home education group on the Isle of Wight. As for the stuff that's not so good, lets work to make it better. And lets not just rely on the government (central or local) to do that for us. No use grumbling, do something positive instead.

Please note: normal service of muttering and moaning will be restored shortly.
