That exchange helped me arrive at my blog title, along with some help from Iain Crichton Smith.
Aberdeen is the home that I chose. I'm currently expatriate though, having migrated south with my other half. During the year we've been away, I've been promising myself I'll start blogging, and here I am at last, ready to record reflections on the idea of home, culture clashes, expat living, language, teaching, books, films, or anything else that might interest me. Which doesn't mean I assume it will interest anyone else!
But I aim to write relatively thoughtfully. It's often assumed that English teachers are frustrated writers. I'm not sure if that's true of me. I haven't written anything seriously since I was at school myself, so as well as being a way of letting my proches know how I'm doing, this could be a training ground for my writing skills.
Hopefully I'll sparkle...
