Ramblings

So....it's been about 5 months since i last posted and i'm now living on the south coast of England. It feels good to be home again. A lot has happened though. Amy & I split up just after xmas, it was ultimately a mutual decision, we just drifted apart, the distance was a real killer. Shit happens, i guess, but things move on. It's a clean slate on all fronts, and i need to just get on with things now.
