So another coffee and more pondering on how to introduce Charlie Chadwick to new people led me to the intriguing world of Twitter.   My teenage daughter#2 was kind enough to get me started and has tried to educate me in the ‘etiquette’ of Tweeting and Following (who said teenagers were no use for anything) and as a result I have gradually been increasing the number of followers on Charlie’s Twitter feed.  Hopefully, most of them then come to have a peek at this site and then stay a while to discover Charlie’s wonderful drawings and stories.

Twitter is definitely a world of ‘snap’ judgements as you must base your decision to ‘follow’ on very little information.  The profile and cover pictures offer a large clue and anyone with a bicycle against the backdrop of a beautiful scenic view would seem, to me,  to have the potential to enjoy Charlie’s work.  I have enjoyed many of the descriptions people have made for themselves, trying to encapsulate their personalities and interests in just a few words.  Humans are so creative….I am very impressed!

My first instinct was always to think that cyclists are so busy out with their bicycles exploring the countryside that they wouldn’t have the time or inclination to be surfing the net, but just like Charlie, they clearly have wide and varied interests and talents.  And, for technology minded souls, they can take their internet access with them on their bikes too, using mobile phones and WiFi, so that they can Tweet from mountain tops and coffee shops.

However you found your way here, a very warm welcome to all.
