Having a break from Britain



I sailed away on the ferry from Harwich to Esbjerg last Thursday night and now I am in Sweden for an indefinite period - I will think about coming back later in the year. I am missing friends and our nice sea, but otherwise I feel no great urge to be in Britain. It is no longer the country I grew up in and I just can't think of it as home any more.

Wireless internet links in hotels and other places can be a bit erratic so I have been off the air for most of the time.
