Visiting the Places I have lived in England,
one place at a time.
What this is
Memoirs is a multi-year writing and travel project, revisiting the places that shaped a life.
The journey
- 60 nights of travel
- 6 Visits around England
- Mainly by bus and train
Each stop connects chronologically to the next, gradually forming a wider view of my Life.
What it becomes
Over time, this project will form:
- Walking the Places I Lived – Following the lines of a life through landscape, memory, and movement
- Tracing the Life I Lived – Following the lines of a life through place, people, and consequence
- A collection of short travel videos
- A collection of curated Photos
For now, the focus is simply on the process itself.
Current progress
Travel and writing are underway.
