For the very first time...

Well! Here it is. My first post in a blog that has been milling around in my head for the last few months. I've been thinking about blog names, borrowing books on blogs and social media from the library and reading stacks and stacks of other people's blogs. Several friends I know now write blogs. My passion for knitting in particular, leads me to blogs regularly for tips, videos and patterns. My recent kitchen renovation plans have seen me trawling through interior decorator blogs looking for snippets of confirmation that my choices are the right ones and that they add value.

Why "Maiden Adventures"? Maybe because we've recently had a federal election in Australia and I was thinking about forthcoming "maiden speeches" made by freshly created politicians. Maybe because I'm female and it adds a touch of femininity. And maybe because of my penchant for mediaeval history/romance fiction and the tangible sense of what it means to be a maiden in a predatory world. It's almost cricket season too and my bowler husband and his team will be lusting after a "maiden over". But mostly because this is my maiden voyage into the blogosphere and I hope the seas aren't too choppy.
