The end of one chapter

7/15/2017

July 15th. The time  has come for me to say goodbye, firstly to Belfast and secondly to living in the UK in general. 
Feels both like it was yesterday and like it was in another life, when as a naive 19-years-old I arrived at the Plymouth railway station and began my UK adventure...And now, 8 years later I am ready to close this chapter to start the next adventure in Dutch-speaking lands...

​I am going to keep this post positive and, instead of compiling a list of things I am definitely not gonna miss or I struggled with, I will compile one of those I will miss instead
​

So here the sentimentalisms start
From the UK in general..:
  1. Long summer nights
  2. Countryside pubs
  3. The British landscape
  4. Countryside walks 
  5. The National Trust (and similar organisations..)
  6. Tiny narrow country roads
  7. Sunday roasts
  8. Charity shops!
  9. Charity organised events (runs, the swimathon..)
  10. Parkrun!
  11. Organised queuing (gonna struggle with the 'push everyone around to get first spot' back home)
  12. The adventure mindset of many people I know
  13. The practical mentality
  14. Using pound sterling (with all the different varieties in NI!)
  15. The BBC 

From my Belfast and NI time:
  1.  Music culture
  2.  Open mic (esp Bookfinders sessions!)
  3.  My veg box deliveries
  4.  St George's market
  5.  The North Coast
  6.  Donegal! 
  7.  The coast, cliffs, rough seas
  8.  My first apartment
  9.  Lagan meadows and other parks nearby the city

​Of course I am also gonna miss all friends and people I have met on my journey, however technology is so advanced nowadays that I am sure we will keep in touch and we can visit each other so I won't get too sentimental! 


And just to leave you all with a great quote from an even better book:

'What is that feeling when you're driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? - it's the too-huge world vaulting us, and it's good-bye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies'. 
Jack Kerouak - On the Road
