to the big apple we go...




This blog is back - on the other side of the Atlantic.


For the next 9 months or so I'll be reporting on the sights and sounds of New York city. As I've been reminded by an Oxford colleague, these concrete jungle streets can make one feel brand new, I hope the blog can keep up.

The (short) explanation for the switch to the USA is that I've taken up a post at the United Nations doing climate change related work with small island developing states. I've settled into a tiny apartment in Manhattan on the Upper East Side (surely a feature of future blog postings) and am looking forward to hosting friends and family over the course of summer - drop me a line!

Sarah and Colin, it's what the two of you know as "New Amsterdam". It's not Dutch anymore. . . new rules.
