The wonders of the web.
Poking around on Pinterest for something completely different, I saw a picture of one of our neighbourhood churches, which ran a sign about kind atheists awhile ago.
I thought “Neat”. Somebody local must have tweeted it.
Nope, it’s tweeted by a British-German guy, born in Singapore, living in Finland.
Duplicate post!
Last week a national newspaper featured an article about the opening of London golf courses. There was a mandatory photo of a guy teeing off. On a beautiful course. With palm trees and even, mountains in the background!:dubious:
New Zealand is a small country but in the last 20 years gets a lot of tourism. I used to live in a tiny unknown seaside fishing village in the colder part of the South Island of NZ, off the main road, hidden away behind a river mouth. Nothing much happens there, or has ever happened there, certainly when I lived there.
On Twitter I follow an artist I admire, who does concept art for movies and book covers and suchlike. A year ago he posted an image of where he was staying on holiday, and I immediately recognised it as my tiny village.
It was the weirdest thing.
He went on to say he wanted to move there, but I think that was probably just meant as a compliment. It has become a very pleasant place. Though I was desperate to leave when I was younger, now I am nostalgic and desperate to return.
