I am going through a dizzying process of change at the moment in just about every part of my life. Don’t worry - I haven’t found God or dedicated myself to the Cult Of Dave Allen just yet. Which isn’t to say that either are unpleasant things to do. But right now all kinds of fresh ideas and opportunities are starting to open up.
The latest is our decision to head north from here, to the topmost island of Japan - Hokkaido. In a couple of days time we will be jetting off from Tokyo up to the cooler climes of Sapporo, escaping one of the hottest Japanese summers on record. A month or so later we should start seeing snow. Lots of snow. Which is what Hokkaido does well - along with sheep, beer-drinking hand-massaged beef-cows and national parks.
That might mean that I’m off the radar for a day or two, but expect to hear much more from me very soon. I have a few interesting forks in the road ahead of me right now, and am looking forward to sharing what’s next with you.
