When I retired in October 2021 I wanted to put something back, and the easiest way to do that is through volunteering. The environmental projects I help out with are not only worthy and important, but also help provide physical exercise and mental well being. And the volunteers are bright, energetic and down to earth. These are really good people.
I have long been fascinated by people born abroad who end up settling in London. The why, when and how are the questions asked and answered in this project, and this collection isn’t about the transient – those here for work or studies – but about people who learn a new language and embrace a new culture. In my family it’s a big thing to leave your home town, but that jump both allows and encourages us to grow, and what I’ve noticed about those born abroad is just how much they bring to the party.
