Abodes

Well, it seems really weird that in the past week I have set up a blog and made the mad decision to get a fixed abode (yes, I'm over 40 and living in expensive rented accommodation in a small town which has New York square metre property rates- the photo on the right was taken a metre away from where I am now and 50 metres away from the hovel I hope to buy soon :-)) And in this very same week I have read an amazing story about a woman with no fixed abode and a brilliant blog. I have scanned her blog about loneliness and homelessness, about invisibility, about her desire to write and and have found that "push button publishing as Blogger is called makes some people famous. Have you heard of the Wandering Scribe? Have you read her blog?Have you seen the newspaper covreage, in case you have not read this one, aptly titled Park and Write have a look!

There is no common thread really betwen me and her - our stories are completely different but I was touched by her strength and the journalists words "It's a tale of our time - about being cut off from everything around you but still connected to people thousands of miles away. " Yes, I can relate to that and that is one of the powers of the web....
