So why have a Blog?

Well I was originally going to keep a diary but I am not a good writer really and get bored too quickly plus I wanted to share some of my stories.
Also I think it is sometimes therapeutic to get your thoughts down into words. Slowly over time you will be introduced to my family, friends, occasionally the past and definitely the present.

Why the Title?

The Book of Rare Deeds is something that was conjured up by me and my brother Mat. In the early 90's he lived in a caravan in the back garden of his Mum's and Stepfather's house. No he wasn't a gypsy, it was just that his parents had decided to extend one of the bedrooms by knocking two rooms together, one of which was his bedroom. And from that moment forward he slept in a caravan in the back garden.
This caravan became the centre of debauchery in our little world and many things happened there (which I may or may not come to) but one night whilst inebriated in one form or another, we both decided that all the silly funny little things that had happened in our life should be put in a book - The Book of Rare Deeds
