The End of an Era
Time to find a new type of holiday
I’ve just finished uploading my photos from my trip to the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. That was my third major sporting tournament I’ve attended and will probably be the last I travel abroad to.
London has the Olympic Games in 2012, maybe England will get the World Cup in 2018. Apart from that, I’m done. It’s not that I am no longer enjoying myself, it’s there are lots of other things I want to do.
There major football tournaments on three different continents in eight years is enough for me.

So what next? I can’t afford to be a space tourist. So maybe a couple of months in China or India, perhaps a cruise around the Adriatic or Caribbean. There are lots of places I have yet to visit in Europe. I have never visited Paris, Berlin or any other major capital city. I tend to stay off the beaten track.
A couple of years to think about it yet, and I need to get off my ass and find some more work to pay for it all.
Once I have a new plan I have incentive.

Strange Light
Sun is setting and throwing orange light on some storm clouds. All very ominous.

Bluebells
Another busy week, canvassing and leafleting.
I’m getting lots of fresh air and starting a tan. Seriously, I can get sun burnt in an English April, the ginger curse.
I’m meeting lots of new people, most of whom are nice even if they are not voting our way. Some are coldly polite. A very few are unpleasant. I had the first door slammed in my face this week, luckily I remebered to turn my microphone off.
I have been visiting parts of Stevenage I haven’t been in years. On the way from leafleting, I took a short cut through woods I used to walk through on the way to school. It’s much overgrown now, as the school is no longer there.
Bluebells were in bloom. They are late this year because of the long winter. I had forgotten about Bluebells. It’s now official: Winter is at last over.
