In the latest iteration of her mid-life crisis, Person Irresponsible, England’s most invisible female adventurer, bought a ubiquitous white van, complete with toilet, bed and kitchenette.
She only added a cat litter tray. Her mission: to fathom why people believed England was going down the toilet.
Unexpectedly, she discovered quite a bit about the culture she is said to hail from. Having been trapped in boarding school from a young age and force-fed history lessons on men doing unspeakable things to one another, she came out the other side quite deranged.
Where was her England? Who were her icons? What mysterious forces had shaped her behaviour? Where was she really from? Where was herstory?
Everywhere I NEVER Wanted To Go tells the story of one woman’s year-long journey in a van exploring every county but the London boroughs – all the while recollecting a childhood best forgotten.
