Welcome!

On the brink of a move to Folkestone, I'm feeling excited. The town itself does not excite me, but the what moving there means to my life. I feel this is the last watershed of the last couple of years, and I will be hopefully leaving the family nest for good.

The last few months has seen me shrink a little from social circles, I am obsessed with getting out of so many ruts. I think about the lack of creativity i have been suffering these last 8 months, and it frightens me that time can fly so fast. I have created so little in my time at my mothers house, its depressing.

Ashford, over the last 18 months has served as a place for me to escape from the shit that went before, and to take some sort of refuge with my family. This has been at the expense of a lot of relationships with people I considered friends, but as I hear from them less and less, my cares dwindle also. The few I have kept in touch with are my wavelengths on this 'cultureless isalnd' cut off from the rest of the country by the huge hummer-fest that is London. These are the ones that I shall be now embarking on all my new ventures with, and hopefully with some new faces also.

So what's Folkestone got to do with this? Well I don't like it there much, the town centre is worse than Ashford, and there are MORE chavs. But, it does have the sea, and the rent is cheap, in a beautiful old flat. I'll be living with two awesome dudes, and i will no longer be lugging my iMac and all the gubbins around for recording, and it is this central base of opertions i have been hoping for. 

I want to settle, for at least the amount of time it will take me to qualify as a teacher and get some musical projects more established, so i have my fingers crossed, this is the last time the big square Ikea shelves are to be dismantled for another two or three years.

NCF has been over since August, and I've got the itch.... I've had it since Christmas, and slowly, but surely, things are moving forward. Writing, Playing, Recording, Remixing, Touring... its all back on.... in different contexts and with different people, but i'm excited, really excited to see what Folkestone, and my new surroundings have to offer.

Oh yeah, and Leah got accepted to UCCA, so she's going to be here in Sept..... That just about tops it off!
