Well for the first time this decade i've caught the bus and headed north to my 'home' town. It's been a long day travelling, not all sat on a bus as I had to change vehicles about midway

It's a bit weird, coming back to somewhere you know, have known, for most of your life and not be returning 'home'. So i'm staying in a super budget hotel - think an ebsuite broom cupboard, in the city centre which works for this visit very well.

It's cold up here, maybe not physically by much but it's a different sort of bone chilling cold that you don't notice as much when you are here full time.

Some writing ideas have been filtering through the grey matter on the way up - maybe you'll see the results in coming weeks!
