The Adventure Begins?

My name is Dan.
I am about to move my life, pencils and HEAVY record collection all the way from south London to east Berlin.
WHY?
I'm moving there to be with my wonderful, highly talented, glamorous and German girlfriend. My secondary motive is that Berlin may be just the place for my "career" (cough splutter choke) as a freelance illustrator-stroke-designer to blossom beyond all control.

Am I a complete idiot?
Is this the start of a wondrous new and exciting chapter in my life?

Hopefully this blog will go some way to answering those questions...
... and along the way act as a source of useful how-to/ how-NOT-to tips for me and others also embarking on the same heroic odyssey.

I am the first person to leave a comment on my own blog.
Of course it's not cheating!
"Go for it Dan! You're great!"
Etc.

I can't wait till my amazing, exceptional and genius boyfriend from London arrives in Berlin with all his pencils, records and life!

Thanks Thorsten, wait 'til you see my records... you might want to reverse your promise!

I am surrounded by boxes. It's very conceptual.

Hi Roddy!

...twenty.
