The Come Down to Reality


Well it has been some months since I last blogged. In fact it has been a seemingly fast 6 months! London seems to be a city where time is explicitly warped. Maybe it’s the shortened daylight hours or the sheer pace of the place, who knows! All i know is I once had hours to spend writing but those days seem to be of another life as life has yet again taken on a rhythm of its own. But i guess that is what happens when one comes to find a sense of normality. A settled life with everything that is routinely normal; a filled social calendar and rituals of daily life. Even the lifestyle of working a Monday to Friday job has been a new experience for me to get used to! But one i am relishing and enjoying. Its seems ‘the norm’ suits me once again and the lifestyle of the Alps and Tuscany has been able to lie happily in my memory without holding any significant lure to price my travelling shoes back on just yet. The gypsy still lies sleeping!

Another rather large distraction has occurred in my life over the last 6 months which has occupied a large part of my thoughts and time; happily cursing me with writers block and sweeping me off my feet. When one falls in love a huge amount of energy goes into creating this new chapter of your life. Of which the effect can seem as if your life has been turned upside down, shaken and reshaped. Accommodating a new other, a new city and lifestyle into my life have all happily distracted me from my once treasured dates with my laptop, but what lovely distractions they have been!
