I am Alan Booth, an ordinary British Man . I'm not one of the famous people that have the same name as me, just an ordinary guy. Welcome to my main blog, a true reliable record of history from the perspective of an ordinary man, a place filled with my thoughts; perhaps my thoughts will persist longer on here than in my brain itself. My twitter I.D. is @alspresso.
This week I am moving home. I'm moving to a small town beyond the M25 ring road, the proverbial wall of the city.
I am joining thousands of people and leaving London because the living costs of the city are inflating too high.
I hope to build a new life with my wife in a sleepy westward town.
August 2026 was very hot and dry, we had a series of heat waves and a prolonged drought that persisted until the last few days of the month....
