29th July 2001
We had decided to leave England. We had been talking about it for a while. Spencer and I had been together for about 2 years now, we had worked hard to tie up all our lose ends, and here we were with 2 rucksacks, on our way to Istanbul. I realised that we had no keys, because we had sold our cars, no house keys, because that had also been sold. Just a few boxes in storage and a large amount of 'paper mache' sculptures stored in a friends garage. It was the beginning.
