There was a time I really fancied having a good astronomical telescope, spending hours gazing upwards into the heavens, inspired by astronomy books and wondrous images. It takes time though, lots of time.
There was a time I listened to short wave radio on an old Bush valve set, taking in pop music from New Jersey to news from Australia. I dreamed of having a really nice Eddystone receiver and a proper outdoor aerial. It takes time though, lots of time.
Now I spend hours on the internet, communicating across the world, sharing photographs, making blogs. And that's where all the time goes now. Fantastic isn't it?
