I love Birmingham

January 5th 2015 - Tomorrow I will be sending out my first picture postcard from Birmingham, England, UK. My home town! It is of the colourful barges on the Great 18th Century Gas Street basin. I am writing to a friend, musician and film maker based in New York to let them know of my new mooring and it reads......'L'Ancre est le symbole de L'espoir' (next to a doodle of an Anchor) What is it with me and water. This time it is to immerse myself in the depths of my own and my families history. My early years, my rivers of tears (canals actually). To learn to stay buoyed while trawling the true undertow. It was time! So good to have sailed back home.'
