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.

    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?
