Prisoners of Geography
My sister and her husband just got back from their holiday to Patagonia. I spoke with her today and it sounded like she has a great time. One of the places that they visited was a Chilean port city called Valparaiso. In the 19th century, it was one of the wealthiest cities in the world,…

Keepwatch
With seven rounds left of the Premier League, there is still plenty to plenty to play for. At the top of the table, two teams are left in the title race, although Arsenal are sitting very pretty. It really is theirs to lose, but they do have that reputation. At the other end, 4-5 teams…

Land of the Free
One of the nice things about Western Civilization, and America in particular, is people are free to be who they want to be. Case in point: today at the park I saw a furry scampering around. I know at least one of my readers is a furry expert, but for the uninitiated, furries are people…

Why I started this blog
I don’t really use Social Media anymore; I’m too young for Facebook, too old for SnapChat, too normie for Discord and too boring for Instagram. While this buys me back time and peace of mind, it means that it can sometimes be difficult to share my life with my friends and family outside of phone calls and in-person meetups. As I live overseas, this can be a difficulty.
With this in mind, and inspired my friend Dan Cullum (check out his fantastic site HERE), I have started a daily blog. Not only will I be able to share my ideas, news, and stories to friends and family, but it serves as a time capsule as I move through life. In the future, I look forward to seeing how my views, opinions, and ideas change over time. At the very least, it is an exercise in discipline, and may be of interest to my descendants at some time in the future.
While I imagine most followers of this blog will be friends and family, all are welcome to subscribe. Feel free to email at harry@harrywetherall.com, I reply to every message, and would love to hear from you.
