New blog, new situation

So, there may be a few changes. And although some photos and a small change in font and colour may appear to be a little small in the change department, they reflect slightly larger changes in the rather strange situation that is my life.

I have taken a new job. I will be working in a lovely little country pub in a small town in a very affluent area of England. This is, of course, a temporary situation. Lets just wait and see where it leads. 

No more Sudan, no more Kenya, no more 3rd, 4th and 5th world. I have done my time, and once the dust and grime was out of my hair I realised I didnt want it back in there. 

Whats amusing to me is that when I first started thinking about writing a blog, it was when I was working at a small local pub in London. The things that happen behind the scenes, and in front of the bar were often more funny than any episode of Cheers could hope to be. 

Now I am moving to a local country pub, where the affluent newcomers are flanked by the long standing plumbers and mechanics, who were the ones who made it such a desirable place to live to start with. I love seeing subtle Gucci and Prada standing next to spattered plumbers uniforms as the sleeves reach accross the bar for a much needed pint of local ale. This looks like it could be fun...

You amaze me how you hop around the planet picking up jobs here and there without blinking an eye. Honestly, I wish at your age I had the guts to do such things.
