Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a personal, reflective and occasionally humorous recollection of the author's adventures and nomadic life, principally in the UK but with two forays to Southern Africa. Born in Britain to Rhodesian parents at the end of that country's tumultuous civil war he was raised in a fairly peaceful and prosperous Zimbabwe. The narrative journey encompasses not only the present but the past. He does his best to make an objective assessment of modern Britain whilst elaborating on just what Zimbabwe (and South Africa) means to him, and the conflicting senses of identity and purpose in the homeland of his heart of which he is no longer a citizen. In his quest for answers on his travels through the UK he surveys the cultural and political landscape of England today, revisits his birthplace in Ealing, and traverses the southwest of England in search of work. Circumstance draws him to his estranged uncle's abode in the coastal city of Plymouth where the past and present collide unexpectedly.
