Business at the front, party at the back.

I have looked it over a few times and am still confused about everything stuffed in the back garden - an extension for tiny pottery houses, a converted bathyscaphe, a fountain that looks like it came from a funfair and a tree house. All that before you get to the loft conversion that has the feel of a small caravan (we used to go on holiday in a Sprite). 🤷‍♂️

    Maybe all the worrying will be for nothing. One of my elderly British relatives, who is not conservative, said I have Trump phobia.

    I remember an American postgrad I was teaching talking with horror about George W. Bush (the president at the time), and he seems positively cuddly compared to Trump. It may all be bluster, but it could be a Handmaid’s Tale prequel and I don’t think I’d want to roll the dice on it.

    Anyway, we’re going to end up in a VRBO in Blackburn, Lancashire for a month while I look for work

    You are only about an hour away, so if you get in a pickle let me know.

    It’s well located for Manchester, Liverpool (a current hotbed of the creative industries) and Leeds. You’ll find the cost of living is cheaper and the people friendlier Up North. Good luck. 🤞
