James lived all his life on a little Caribbean Island, and has just moved over to the UK. This blog spills the beans on all the CRAZY adventures he's been through in his new life in the 1st world.
It's finally happened!!! All my life I've always heard about how grumpy and miserable the British are, but up until last week I just couldn't see it. Everyone I've met so far has been so wonderful. Which is a good thing I guess, I'm not really complaining. It's just that grumpy people are always to entertaining to watch. Plus, who would read a blog post about all the jolly old town folk that I meet!
I can't believe that I haven't posted a single blog post since I've been in England. I'm so sorry! I'm just always busy, which I really don't mind, I prefer it that way. As I've been here I've done many things. I've had a fantastic summer with my best friends. Spent four days in a gorgeous hotel in London with them.
In a mere day I will be making a huge change in my life. I'm moving to England! Now this is an enormous step for me. I'm not just moving from Wales to England. I'm moving from St. Lucia, a teeny tiny island in the Caribbean to a country x1000 it's size, and who's ways of life are so vastly different to what I've been used to all my life.
On the whole, island life is very laid-back, and on top of that, I live in one of the most peaceful and quietest areas in the whole of the island. Literally nothing exciting ever happens. As I can recall, the most exciting thing that has ever happened to our neighbourhood was when all the street signs got replaced. Okay well actually, the most exciting thing was when that Australian billionaire got assassinated just down the road. Expertly shot, then him and his vehicle being doused in aviation fluid and being set alight. Have to admit that doesn't happen very often....
There are many things that worry me. I find myself in a vortex of despair on a constant basis, filled with soul-consuming questions like, will I be alive to see the next season of Sherlock? Should I use a Lo-Fi or Hefe filter on my Instagram upload? Should I scramble my eggs or make an omelette? And then petty like questions like what will I do with my life? What even is life?
So I think an apology is in order… I'm very sorry for not writing anything in a while. I've just been so busy. I wanted to do the whole 'take a break and come back fresh for the new year' thing. It's March. Needless to say I've had an overextended break (Which was amazing by the way) and I've come back with PLENTY to write about! So first off, I'm being STALKED.
If you have not yet seen the 2013 film Gravity then I highlyadvise that you stop reading this, go watch it, and then come back so we can discuss our view of the film.
