ABOUT

• I am a person who was born in London some time ago and who is still alive
• From the inception of this blog, this is my england was both my pen name and the name of this space. That was because the initial purpose of this blog was to have somewhere to put pictures I used to take in England, where I lived at the time. Then I started putting various other bits and pieces here.
• As of August 2016, I live in Catalunya - chances are, then, that the focus of this place will shift a bit...
• ... so in March 2107, I changed the name of this thing from this is my england to out of england. I can't imagine living there again so the name no longer seemed right.
• The short stories and poems that appear here are not all completely faithfully autobiographical 
• For the avoidance of doubt, photographs appearing here were taken by me with my own cameras; images are not routinely sourced from elsewhere; on the very rare occasions this happens, it is made very obvious.
• All writing appearing here is my own, with the very obvious exception of occasional quotations, which are clearly marked as such
• Links to websites containing the work/ideas of other people never appear here as a result of a commercial arrangement: this is my england out of england is an ad-free space. Sometimes, I just like to praise/acknowledge/pimp out stuff I find interesting. Sometimes, certainly not always, this stuff is the work of my friends
• No, the name of the blog is nothing to do with the EDL, UKIP, Britain First or any of those hateful cunts.
