Prologue

Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away...hmm, ok so it was North London, but it seems far, far away sometimes. This is a blog about my life, please dont get too excited because for the first 42 years it was fairly uneventful. However, for the past few years I have been living in Belgium, you might have heard of it, small country, best beer in the world, second best chocolate (after Cadburys) and nestling snuggly between France and Holland. In the past I avoided visiting countries that didnt speak English so my knowledge of Europe was sketchy and the only thing I could recall about Belgium was the superb goal David Platt scored against them in the dying moments of the 1990 World Cup quarter finals. So here's my blog, it's about being English, In Flanders.
