The Mendip Nomad
Welcome to my blog. My name is Tom Osborne, and while I've lived in many places, and don't live there now, I call the Mendip Hills of Somerset home. Hence the title of this blog and my blogging pseudonym elsewhere. I'm also a Presbyter (often called a Minister) in the Methodist Church but the views you'll find here are all my own (unless I specifically say so). Please do feel free to comment if you so wish, you certainly don't have to agree with me, all I ask is that you keep it civilised.
