'A wee picture dump from good times'
I’d say I’m a bit of a grafter—not the type to nick a tenner out your nan’s purse or anything like that. I’ve just been putting the work in, but more importantly, I’ve been working pretty hard at enjoying myself.
Lately I’ve found a lot of comfort in not taking everything so seriously. Not trying to get too deep about it, but it’s been a while since I’ve written one of these. Mostly because I just don’t seem to find the time anymore.
The website’s taken a bit of a back seat, if I’m honest. I’ve been putting a lot more energy into having good moments with my people.

So i just thought a update was in order! ive recently moved into my own gaf, big time solo living is just soo blissfull! I've never actually lived alone so its a new experiance for me. its pretty special because you get to live completely by my own standards. Do pottery in the living room in front of the TV? i wouldn't! But i could. Naked DJing, well i sometimes do that but nobody knows, well apart from you reading this (dont tell anyone).
It's been amazing putting up all my best friends, i do consider myself to be an excelllent host so i think they had a great time . I had to pre warn my neighbours who are seriously cool neighbours by the way! We had some wild evenings playing our music all night long coupled with some days walking on the hills and cycling to the local pubs.

Ive also been converting vans, current van is a 2006 toyota hiace which i think could be a keeper! it already came with a deisel heater and solar panels but the previous owner converted the inside in a very make shift way, if youd seen any of my previous vans you'd know i appreciate the basic functional style of that type of conversion but ive had a re jig of the layout making it more usable as a day van as well as a camper. Ive been making the most of having the hiace, trips to the ocean and all around the UK have been brilliant, i meet the most incredible humans beings and make memories ill never forget. living away from the UK has really made me appreciate this amazing island. The amount of culture packed into this small island is absolutely enormous, you'd think this place was 10x the size with its history, the multicultural side of this island also brings me soo much pride to be apart of. Also don't get me started on the music that comes from the UK.


So i guess this post is a wee tip of the hat to this amazing island and the incredible place i get to call home. If you turn the news off and focus on yourself you can start to see so much beauty in this life and all the experiences we get to have.
