Howdy friends

That's me, I like a good hat.

Someone told me, 'You should start a blog'. Not for any particular reason mind you. I'm not some clever bugger who entertains crowds with my wit or wisdom. I think they just meant, 'I'm not really that interested in listening to you prattle on about your upcoming travels, your life plans or your sudden determination to get back into music, so perhaps writing about it somewhere out there where people can choose or not choose to read it, would be a better idea.' So here I am!



The plan is to chat, observe, relate the stories of my daily life from now until whenever, and let anyone who's interested read and comment. I've just resigned from my job of two and a half years and am leaving London to go travelling around Europe for a month, with my very tall little brother. Following that, the idea is to head to Barcelona and attempt to learn Spanish while working in a bar. Most people might say 'Why pack in your well-paying job to jet off around Europe without any firm plans for the future?' I say, the job was in the public sector (if that's not a good enough reason to quit at this time, I don't know what is), I haven't seen half of the places around this continent that I want to, and it will be getting cold (even colder, August and already cold!) soon, whereas Southern Europe and Barcelona will have sunshine for a bit longer.

So off I go! Updates to come
