Happy New Year Everyone!

First I would like to apologise for the lack of posts on this blog. I almost decided to scrap the whole thing before Christmas but I thought a new year would be a great time to relaunch the lankybutnotmanky blog. I’ve also chosen to start a new blog thelondonperspective.wordpress.com which is my take (what am I saying its MY LIFE) as a twenty-something living in the big smog.

This Blog will be updated once a week. So add it your RSS Feed to keep yourself posted. Also this year I want to actually hear from some of my visitors so folks comments good and bad are WELCOME.
