Hi folks. I’m from the UK, been living in Japan (Nagoya) a while and will be writing about things that interest me from time to time. (food, beer, music, gardening, politics, computers, languages…) I hope you might find some of it interesting too!

Yes, this is Mark F. I came across your blog, and would like to catch up on old times. Could you e-mail me on the supplied e-mail address?
Hi Mark, great to hear from you! Email coming up.
