off up north

aaa12345687.jpg
I’m about to head up up North via train. In Cumbria for a day or two, then hopefully up in Glasgow by the weekend.
I’ve been down here in London for God knows how long, and I’m feeling a wee bit frazzled from it, to be honest. Can’t wait to get out of here and let the next mini-chapter of my life to kick in.
A month ago I was actually contemplating moving here. But the appeal wore off.
This town simply does not suit me, long-term.
Even though business is good and everything is hunky dory, the truth is, I’m far better suited to places where one does not need a lot of money in order to live. It’s the Scottish Highlander in me, no doubt.

The best way to support gapingvoid is to sign up to "Hugh's Daily Frickin' Cartoon" Newsletter. A new cartoon sent out every weekday morning to your inbox [RSS version here.]. A wee chuckle to start your day off right etc.

    I love this city (London) but agree, the mega-£££ thing does get old…

    Cumbria you say!
    Now I feel the earth returning to its proproer orbit.
    Have a pint for me!
    Rock on you wildly original and creative dude!

    You don’t have to leave for Cumbria; I’m sure if you frequent the right bars you can get a Sottish highlander in you.

  4. Say hello to Durham for me if you’re passing through by train…

  5. I think Hugh is onto something big here. But if everyone thought like him, what would happen to the London property markets?
