Expat Laura
a different kind of love
2004-11-21 | 8:44 p.m.

Coming back from a weekend in Leeds speeding down the motorway to Newcastle in a tiny Ford Fiesta sleeping in the back, knees by my ears. A field of lights on either side and steam billowing out of factories I didn't know existed, underpasses and overpasses sneaking us into the city across bridges and a silent river. Who knew the city was so big (where do all the people go?). It's my home.

I'm falling in love with it.
