As we near the twilight of August 2009 I introduce the first post in this here diary. The moment in time by which we all abide represents a turning point, a decision dressed in specificity, to move away from England, to strike out alone and be elsewhere, anywhere. But this anywhere is uber-cool. I am talking instantly of the hyper-concrete pastures of... Berlin, Germany unto which I shall presently tread.

Oh yes, cashing in brit chips is a must for all aspiring seafarers vying for a New York circa 1975 vibe and Berlin today is oooh, close. True, I wasn’t alive that decade, but for a couple of years I dabbled, ’78 onwards. And let me tell you, I’m not going to make the same mistake twice, even though I was just two, I kick myself.

So, here I come Berlin, in fact, there I went, for 10 days in mid August to taste the tastes and smell the smells. It wasn’t perfect, and that my middling little flower... is precisely why I’m moving there. Here follows a selection of images from time there....
