That&#8217;s not as bad as it sounds because, as much as I love my friends and family, I really want to try something new, and Michele wants to spend some time with <i>her<\/i> family. Fair enough really. And teh internets provide a suitably convenient medium for keeping in touch with my 21st century family. <\/p>\n<p>We both love London, and who knows, we may end up coming back in tears after a month, but I hope not. On both sides of my family there has been a presence in South East London for a long time. Time to try something else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to a new blog.
