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.
