Hello! ... anyone out there?

So this is my first blog post on my freshly minted Catherine Knight NZ website. Though I am a seasoned blogger (well, at least since 2009), my blogging activities to date have been under the aegis of my envirohistory NZ blogsite. Apart from the occasional poetic(?) outburst, precipitated by the death of a much-loved pet, envirohistory NZ was dedicated entirely to discussion and reflections on environmental history. This blog is a bit different. It is about me and what I do. So it is a bit more daunting... but bear with me, I am sure I will think of interesting things to say!
