Having the tap turned off for a few weeks certainly makes me realise how much of my life I usually spend online. It’s actually quite nice in a way. The birds seem to sing a little more brightly and I’ve been interacting with people that live much more of their lives offline. I’m still rather itching to get back on though.
The first year back in the UK was spent in Scarborough, on the North East coast of England. It’s a place that is not entirely without its charms, but after the thrills of five years in Tokyo, was a significant comedown. Browse through the pictures below to get a bit of a feel for the place:
In a fortuitous piece of timing, we’ve arrived in town bang in the middle of the Brighton Festival too, giving a whole stack of things to see and do. For non-British readers of this, the pictures below will give you an idea of this fair English seaside city I am now calling home again.
I won’t write too much now as this is just a snatched moment online amidst all the mass of sorting out of a new life. When the dust has slightly settled, I’m hoping that this blog will gain a new lease of life. Until then, I offer a final group of pictures from the last place that I called home before returning here – the city that marked such a major turning point in my life – Tokyo.
Catch you soon.
