| Introduction | I was born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire in 1985. We call it the Shire because there are rumours Middle Earth's Shire is based on us - local locals do resemble Hobbit folk. I spent most of my early childhood in Longville-In-The-Dale, a tiny village near Much Wenlock. The village had a pub, a phone box, an old railway station, an old post office and many many farms. When I was 15 We moved to Church Stretton, a bigger town in Shropshire. But still not the hub of major theatrical events or of diverse culture. Church Stretton is a lovely little town. It has around 3,000 people. Which might sound like alot but isn't. Everyone knows everyone. Most people are related to everyone. We nickname our area the SY6, as this is the postcode. I love my hometown. But, I never really felt like I belonged there. I always wanted to know about everywhere outside of The Shire, outside of the West Midlands, outside of the UK, outside of Europe. After finishing college at 18 I left. My first trip was to Togo, West Africa. It wasn't my last... Here is a collection of adventures that happened After The Shire... |
