And so, it comes to an end. My time in Huddersfield is drawing to a close, and my next stepping stone in life will be Nottingham.
My relationship with Huddersfield has always been ambivalent, and more so since the break-up of my marriage. On the one hand, I love the town. Some of the most amazing architecture is here. I produced some damn fine music here. But it has a darker side: a side that haunts me. I see betrayal and deception lurking around every corner, and the healing process has been too slow, too painful for me to properly settle.
So, 17:13 this evening is time to go. The ties aren't cut completely, I shall be back: but the pull of the East Midlands is too hard to resist. I love my home area - I feel like me the way I never really did here. It's not a yearning, more a recognition of who I am.
Just like football, Alan's coming home.

Profile needs updating!
Hello.
Hope you are settled in your new home. I used to live in Yorkshire and love that part of the world too. I just wanted to let you know I 'borrowed' one of your Flickr shots from the Sculpture park. Your shots are so beautiful.I've credited and link to that series.
my blog is on tomato growing ( tomatolover.com) . I needed a picture of yorkshire sheep. You'll need to read today's post for this to make sense !
Best of luck and I hope all goes well for you.
