Sinister: Don't leave the BRIGHT-ON baby.....

[snowy .]

Hello again.

Sorry to just leap into the puns, but I couldn't resist that one.

I went to Brighton yesterday, to buy new shoes.  I popped on the Brighton 
express and arrived at 1:30.  And I was on the train home at 3:30.  Much as 
I like Brighton, (being skint) I couldn't think of much to do there.  
Secondhand clothes are actually more expensive than in London down there.  I 
had a lovely lunch in Infinity though.

Anyway, the point I was going to make was this.  On the train down, I was 
looking out of the window and daydreaming.  And I got to thinking about 
bands/artists who manage to cultivate a sense of their surroundings in their 
work.  I think travelling through Battersea made me think of Morrissey, and 
how he used to move from Manchester to London to Manchester.....etc.  Then I 
thought about B&S, and the sense that they are very much a 'Glasgow' band.  
And I started feeling like I have lost my identity to some extent.  As I 
spent the first 18 years of my life living in Devon (in the same house) and 
most of my adult life in London.  I have moved back to Devon a couple of 
times.  And each time I have found it difficult because I have changed.  But 
I find it difficult in London too, because I'll always be Devonian really.  
There is no answer to this.  But I wonder what (if any) impact this has had 
on my writing.  Hmmmmmmm.  I'll have to go through my stuff and see how much 
writing I've done about train journeys.
