it's a strange choice of landscape

it's a strange choice of landscape for a snowboard design in england , build in germany, then drive to switzerland to test the boards , the distance between my homes in england and germany is almost 1000km door to door. he knows this because he sometimes drives . it makes a nice change from flying . joss flew 100 times last year. he doesn't mind all the air travel , but there are disadvantages. it's exhausting, and i have always got a cold , he says people think it's glamorous , but i don't fly first class

In each country he has a social life and a local pub. Although joss speaks german, people in nuremberg always want to practise their english . In cambridge , he lives with his partner , kate. She travels a lot in her job , too. I call her before bedtime. Sometimes our planes cross in the skies
In nuremberg, he rents aroom with his colleague. There, i eat more meat and drink more beer. I watch tv because i don't have one at home. I know all the german life in germany, and an english life in england

Claire holds up her hands to show her nails. Don't they look awful, she cries. I so miss new york manicuresn that's not all claire misses about her other life in the usa. For two years she has divided her life between her home town, manchester, in the north or england, and brooklyn, new york. She has an art gallery and a home in both places. She flies once a month, and spends about a month at a time in each
I dress differently in new york: pearls contact lenses, no jeans, and i wear my hair up. Americans love the english accent, so i feel i should act the part. After work in new york, she may sip a glass of wine or fruit juice in a trendy bar, but after work in manchester she goes to the local pub for a pint of beer. Her two homes are similar, though. In brooklyn, i share a rooftop flat with an artist. I can actually see the sky , she can see the same stars from her city centre loft in manchester
Claire loves her transatlantic lifestyle. Her husband travels a lot in his job, too. They met in manchester and married in new york. We're not always in the same country, but our lives are going in the same direction
