Once upon a time, somebody told me that my life was definitely created for the purposes of the internet.* I have never written a blog but I love writing and travelling so here is a little pint-sized taster blog started for the purpose of a little (and very spontaneous) trip to India. Then maybe it will continue. Who knows.
So,we all know that bog-standard expression - The World Is Your Oyster. No matter how much I try to enjoy them, oysters will always be a bit of a mystery to me. Do you chew them? Do you swallow them whole? Frankly, I can't get over the fact that they look pretty like mucus and furthermore, definitely feel a bit phlegmy in your throat. All in all, I'd say that despite supposedly being an aphrodisiac, with all the wincing, sea water, bits of grit and gagging, it isn't that attractive a prospect. The moral of this story is, I don't think the world is my oyster. It is more like my peanutbutter sandwich. Smooth. On thick white bread. You can't go wrong there.
So here begin my travelly musings but first, I need to clear up a couple of common misconceptions people have about me.
1. that I went to public school
2. that I did a Gap Yah
3. that I ride horses
4. that I look like Linda Barker
In conclusion, none of the first three matter but I must state for the record that I categorically do not look like Linda Barker.
Rudyard Kipling once said: "The first condition of understanding a foreign country is to smell it"
I tend to agree. Being sensitive of nose, this can sometimes be a problem for me. Generally because places tend to smell a little bit like shit. Having already being to India before, I know this will be no exception.
The end.
*NB: I realise this sounds vaguely dodgy but I mean in a statusey, writey kind of way, rather than whatever you are thinking.
