I blogged pretty extensively during 2014 and early 2015, but got out of the habit. In the time since there has been a huge amount I've sort of wanted to write about (politics, terror etc) but I haven't. I tried several times, but anger and frustration about what was happening prevented me from getting things down in a coherent form. Given I couldn't express what I felt, and it didn't seem like it would make a difference anyway, I let it lie fallow.
It's now early 2017, and I'm back, blogging about my attempt to do the first month of the year without social media. After that, who knows?
And why gateway2thesouth? Named after a famous sketch popularised by Peter Sellers:
"Broad-bosomed, bold, becalmed, benign,
Lies Balham, four-square on the Northern Line."
I lived in Balham for 23 years - longer than I have been anywhere else, and it still feels like one of the places in the world I most belong.

A reminder
Nothing posted here for a little while but I have been busy elsewhere - remember my music reviews page which is here and which has got reviews of the James Taylor gig from a couple of weeks ago, and a couple of more recent things too.
