I decided to start this blog back just before Christmas (2007), when it was cold, wet and miserable in the UK December winter. It is now January 2008 and I am sitting in my hotel room in Fuerteventura (Canary Islands) overlooking the pool area which is surrounded by palms. Beyond the pool is a beautiful golden sandy beach with an inviting blue and turquoise sea stretching away to the horizon. The temperature is about 22 Centigrade (72F). I have a glass of local white wine by my side and life seems perfect. If only the rest of my blogging career could be carried out in such pleasant surroundings! I really do consider myself very fortunate to be able to take holidays like this, life has not always been so pleasant and I think I may have paid with my share of hard times on the way. Of course that is a very subjective judgement, for the really underprivileged or someone in a third world country who is poor, starving and lacking even basic healthcare my whole life would seem like total luxury.

Anyway, before setting out on this two week winter break I determined that I would use this as an opportunity to create some content for the embryonic My Free Review. That I would take advantage of the time and create several new posts so that when the blog is published at the end of the month there is a range of interesting and (hopefully) useful posts. During my time here I have concentrated on writing about software, in particular freeware and portable freeware. So I hope that by the end of the holiday I will have shared with you some of the benefit of my current good fortune in these relaxed surroundings and I trust that you find my efforts over the next couple of weeks are worthwhile .
