Business at the front, party at the back.

I have looked it over a few times and am still confused about everything stuffed in the back garden - an extension for tiny pottery houses, a converted bathyscaphe, a fountain that looks like it came from a funfair and a tree house. All that before you get to the loft conversion that has the feel of a small caravan (we used to go on holiday in a Sprite). 🤷‍♂️

Maybe all the worrying will be for nothing. One of my elderly British relatives, who is not conservative, said I have Trump phobia.

I remember an American postgrad I was teaching talking with horror about George W. Bush (the president at the time), and he seems positively cuddly compared to Trump. It may all be bluster, but it could be a Handmaid's Tale prequel and I don't think I'd want to roll the dice on it.

Anyway, we’re going to end up in a VRBO in Blackburn, Lancashire for a month while I look for work

You are only about an hour away, so if you get in a pickle let me know.

It's well located for Manchester, Liverpool (a current hotbed of the creative industries) and Leeds. You'll find the cost of living is cheaper and the people friendlier Up North. Good luck. 🤞

Thanks so much for the offer. I have a lot of family and friends over there who can help me too. And yeah, I'd rather not risk it considering my daughter is queer.

No worries - Blackburn family? The comment from your elderly relative makes sense in the accent!

Only a couple of cousins, but no, that relative is actually not right-wing at all and he's highly educated. He's just also a pre-Boomer. He lived through WWII but he was too young to remember it. I just don't think he believes it could possibly happen again.
