Coming soon

This is Petering About, a brand new site by Peter Gregory that's just getting started. Things will be up and running here shortly, but you can subscribe in the meantime if you'd like to stay up to date and receive emails when new content is published!

I had the idea for a long time that I'd write a blog about the cafes that have been important in my life.  There are a lot: cafes are a massively important part of my life.  Kind of like a personal history through the lens of where I sat drinking coffee.

Before I could do that, I was hit by the tragedy of the death of my wife, Siobhan, at the age of 43.  So now, I'm going to write the same type of blog, but fill it mainly with memories of Siobhan.  Some big things, some small things.  I've got lots of ideas, from just looking at individual objects of Siobhan's, to remembering gigs that we went to, holidays we went on.  Si0bhan kept photo albums, scrap books, lecture notes.  I will be digitising these things over time, and many will find their way here.

I'm going to talk about our relationship, our little boy, and our life together.  I'll do some armchair philosophising I'm sure.  I won't talk about other people by name without their permission, and in the same way, I won't publish photos of people in the same way, unless they're happy for that.

I just want to build a picture of Siobhan and our time together, and share that with whoever wants to see it.  I'm sure I'll end up talking about lots of other random things too, we'll see how it goes.  I'll almost certainly talk about living with a disability, and how that constraint can change life for the better.  I hope some people will enjoy what I write, but even if I'm just talking to myself I think I'll be getting some comfort from the memories.

Love Pete x
