Literal refugee from Beirut. Metaphorical refugee from X. Music, film, literature. Have been known to teach people equally useless things. Swear a lot but only mean it if you're a right wing cunt. Somehow I live in a 14th century manor house.

So I've bought a 3 storey Georgian townhouse. Was going to post a pic of the front but through Historic England you can find out exactly where I live so best not. Here's the kitchen diner which leads onto the garden. Still a bit chaotic but it's already the home of my dreams.
