New beginning

Here I am making a new start on blogging. First up, do I need a new username to go with a new start? “Bushybill” was coined mainly to describe my geographical situation. I had been living for fifty years on my farm, set in hundreds of acres of bush at least one kilo from a road and any other residence. In latter years as my farming, teaching and voluntary activities down sized I saw less and less of other people. At the same time interest in my natural environment increased. I came to enjoy the company of all the wild animals and birds that lived in the bush around my house. Indeed I looked on many of them as friends and came to understand many of their behaviour patterns. Bushybill seemed most appropriate. Now all that has changed. At the end of last year I moved into Mundaring. A country town, almost even an outer suburb. With a few exceptions all the animals and birds are a thing of the past. Even though I am not really a “bushy” any more, I think that I have not metamorphosed into a “towny”. I don’t yet know how my new life will develop, so for the present at least, I will stay with the old username
