When you are on the other side of the world, the things that you took for granted take on a different importance, the things you'd forgotten come crashing back and the things that you love amplify themselves to a fever pitch! However, not everything is beautiful, not everything is great and not everything can be forgiven. Such is the life of a Flâneur...

The sound of church bells in the city
When we were on the dole back in Eastbourne, the bells, the bloody bells used to ruin our precious sunday mornings.
However, once I moved to London I started to enjoy the occasional peal in the heart of the city. Their gentle calling reminded me of my grandparents, even though they were not church-goers particularly. And now when I hear them in British films it reminds me of them and of London and a cool morning mist rolling in off the Thames.
