GRANTHAM
All I know of this place is, well, nothing. I’ve passed through here a few times. All I have is an impression of the place based on what can be seen from this train, and that’s only very vague of course.
Will I ever know more of this place? Will this place ever hold any significance for me? Who knows …

Because my writing isn’t the most legible when on a train:

“LONDON 13.01.12

9:53-ish
I’m on the train, I was certain I was going to miss it so i ran like an idiot, but ended up being on time for it, and they changed the platform anyway.
Anyway. I’ve been really excited for today, it’s my first trip to London on my own. Is it that bad that I’m more looking forward to going on the Tube than the exhibition itself? Haha. It’s still gonna be good though, I’m sure.
This is my first “travel journal” as such, certainly won’t be my last. I’m hoping to do as much as I can to record the journey(s), but chances are I won’t get as much done as I intend to. It’ll probably be harder to do stuff when on the move than I thought, though I know it won’t be easy. There’ll definitely be plenty of photos, they’re easy enough to do … I’ll try some short videos maybe too, though of course I can’t put them in here, haha. I’ll try and do things with what I collect after I get back home, see what I can do.
I’ve decided I’m not going to have my headphones in much today, I need to absorb + observe, and I can’t really do that if I’m blocking out a sense. However, if I feel a song is appropriate for the location, I’ll put it on. And if I’m going to try and”
 ”go at my own pace, not disrupting the flow of people as such, but trying to capture it, maybe. I don’t know.
I’m trying to leave these bits of paper around too, where possible. Hopefully it will attract people to my blog and ideally take an interest in my work (in progress). And it would be nice if it did provoke thoughts for whoever finds them.”
