Opening Spiel...

Hello, I thought i would start a blog. Often its great to hear about the successes and establishing of youthwork programmes, to hear reflections of struggle, of thoughts both theoretical and theological and those are really inspiring. However, my situation now is slightly different, and i thought it would be interesting to write about it, and hear your thoughts on it. 
For the last 4 years i have coordinated a detached youthwork project in Perth Scotland, and its been great, there have been challenges, ups and downs like everything, but the young people, the volunteers and staff and the work has been really enjoyable, fulfilling and rewarding. However, in September I start a new job, as a youth and community worker in Ottery St Mary Devon, something that seems a million miles from what my life is in Perth Scotland right now, in June. 
I thought that it would be interesting for me, and a therapeutic exercise, to write about the winding down of one role, one job, one family routine, the move, and the establishment of new life, routine and work in Devon, back in my homeland of England. So forgive the diarising, the highs and lows, and randomness of thoughts, you will realise that i think too deeply, love cycling too much and also get frustrated easily.
