I've enjoyed reading other people's blogs so now I've decided to start my own. I've changed my name - I was calling myself "East Anglian Tory" but after I posted a comment on Crystal Jigsaw's blog someone later referred to me as "East Anglian Troy". I liked that. I want to make some political comments along the way but also want to comment on life and its foibles in general. So its nice to be Troy as well as a tory.
So I've got to think of something to say that is interesting and witty. I seem to have suddenly got writer's block so I'll give it a few days (or hopefully sooner) until inspiration takes over and the fingers dart swiftly and usefully across the keyboard - fingers crossed! Well obviously not crossed whilst I'm typing.
About Me
- Troy
- I'm a young retiree. I quit the rat-race (London) and now enjoy the peace and tranquility of East Anglia. I've a wife "Mrs Troy" and a young son "Troy Junior". I now enjoy a leisurely life of internet surfing, following Ipswich Town FC and getting involved in the community whilst trying to make a reasonable return on my investments. When I have a spare minute, which is not very often, I update this blog.

When I describe myself as "young" I mean younger than certain other retirees I know.
Good luck with the blog. It is all a bit trial and error. I'm still groping around...but I've decided to blog away about what interests me! (We'll see what happens...) Will keep an eye on yours for sure.
