You could use something like Obsidian + GitHub Pages to publish a blog for free.
Obsidian uses Markdown and offers a WYSIWYG type of editor.
You’ll get a generic pages.github.com/username URL - BUT - you could buy a domain name for ~ $5 (or less).
You will own your content and the workflow will be simple once you set it up. There are plenty of how-to guides available online but if you have any additional questions, let me know.
Is that Bushy Park? I love to walk through there on the way to the Apple Store in Kingston.
It is. I believe it’s very beautiful.
It certainly is. There are a number of deer roaming around and lots of water birds as well as skylarks, which have protected nesting area.
Just as feedback, I had a play with Wordpress and it’ll do the job for free (for the time being) I can upgrade if I wish in future.
Nice and simple
Thanks to everyone who made suggestions.
Just an update on this.
Last Saturday, I completed my 50th parkrun this year in Sheffield.
I’ve had a blast and am hoping to get another 3 in before the end of the year. I’ll post my end of year reflection post when I’ve done it.
Congrats!!! What a win!
It would have been in November but for a family issue, a broken boiler, and a storm. 
Congrats, I did my first non-UK Parkrun in Germany this year.
Temple Newsham is close to my family home so have run that a few times 
Thanks
I did Temple Newsam a little while ago, Middleton Woods tomorrow.
HAHA! Welcome to the punctuation matters camp.
I had the same reaction.
@geoffaire - I think that it’s great you are doing this!
Contrary to the name micro dot blog allows for full length blogs of any size and also for photos as many as you want in a post. Essentially every blog post is unlimited in length size or any other measurement you might want to add it does cost five dollars a month, but set up only takes a few seconds.
