Introduction

Well, as the famous sentence goes, in life everyone should do 3 things before dying “Plant a Tree, Write a Book, have a Son”. I did the first one long time ago. And now I’m starting the modern version of the second one. That’ll gain me some more time before the difficult task of the third one…

In a couple of months it’ll be my 6th year here in the UK. As most of the people, I arrived saying that it was just for a year to improve my English. I left Malaga in a sunny day and arrived to Bristol in a dark and rainy day. Crows sitting in bold trees were the only thing that I could see from my window, with the background of the plain grey sky. I still remember their crawling and how it brought to my mind the poem “The Raven” by of Alan Poe (now I understand better the dark stories of Poe or Lovecraft).

One year went by quickly thanks to the great experience that leave in a foreign country was for me, and after a break of a couple of months in the sunny beaches of Cadiz, I moved to Birmingham. I lived one year in a University campus and met lots of great malakas, my ex-girlfriend and other friendly people with who I enjoyed my last year of student life.

Then London. I’ve been here for the last 4 years and I’m still discovering new places and getting surprised by all the things that this city has to offer. Now that I’m (nearly) immune to the weather So I decided to start this blog to share the thoughts and experiences with my friends, and to summarise my live in the UK. Before I’m too busy with a child to loose time in these silly things…

This it is, and nothing more...

PS: forgive my basic command of English. Long time since I opened a grammar book…
