Hello Gastronauts - Welcome to my blog

Well, it is not exactly my blog and it was not even my idea. My son Patrick said, 'hey dad, you have got to have a blog' so I picked up a large glass of wine and said to my wife Tess, 'what in heaven's name is a blog?' She said, ' I am not entirely sure, I will ask Denis. Denis, a fine, full blown two and a half year old Chinchilla Persian cat, was unfortunatly asleep at the time and offered no comment.

However, knowing Denis as I do, he would undoubtedly, along with his adoring mother Tess, make his views known from time to time.
