After struggling the first few months down here, partly because of job-related stuff and partly through social anxiety issues keeping me from going to many things, I've ended up loving it - mainly because of the incredibly welcome I've had from so many people. That turned out to be the tiniest bit of an understatement. Moving down to London was obviously mainly a job-related decision but part of the reason for making the move was down the thought that I could maybe go to the occasional book-related event. I started a blog on Boxing Day 2010 and could never have even begun to imagine what an incredible effect it would have had on my life. (This may be wrong,because yeah, Facebook privacy settings - ugh!!) 5 years ago I was in a job which I was struggling with and pretty much hated, I'd been living in a flat in the town where I was working for about six months and barely knew anyone there, had barely any friends, and I believe there were virtually NO photos of me online which were accessible unless you were a friend of mine on Facebook.
