I have a memory of a group of us dancing on a pontoon on the lake one Friday night that I think about if ever I need to reduce my blood pressure.

Israelis, in case you don’t know, aren’t great at customer relations.

Tasks always take a stage or two more than you expect in Israel.

Dan shook my hand and smiled and said, ‘Welcome home,’ and I felt emotional again.

A year in Tel Aviv

I arrived in Israel from London in November, slightly dazed. The process of getting here had been smooth, maybe too easy. What would I do here? What would I find? Who would I meet? Would I stay?

This blog is my attempt to answer those questions. The posts aren’t in any sort of chronological order.

White Meat, by the way, is what
Israelis call pork.
