Next Stop, London

With my life-long possessions in a single suitcase, I board the train. Leaving behind the green fields and with tall buildings in sight, the inspector calls out that we have reached our destination. All set for university, I spend the next four years creating great friendships whilst developing my body and mind. With all the distractions, sports took a back seat. I meet my now Bosslady and four years on, I successfully gain a degree in Aerospace Engineering AND 22kg of excess body weight (this was not part of the curriculum!).

Looking back I was given subtle clues; I spent most of my time eating takeaways and drinking alcohol, I did zero physical exercise; as my waistline expanded so did my wardrobe and I slowly transitioned to baggy/oversized clothes. I hadn’t realised it but I had become an overweight Aerospace Genius!
