Dave Gorman ... the final dispatch
My four-month tour of the States is all but over. In fact, while I'm writing this in a Seattle hotel room, by the time you read it I'll already have spent a few nights tucked up in my own bed in London and my left foot will happily have resumed clutch-duty while driving.
On tour with Dave Gorman
This is the third time I've been in America for Thanksgiving and each time it's made me feel like an orphan. Thanksgiving is the most significant holiday on the American calendar and everyone but everyone seems to race home to spend the day in the bosom of their family. To me, the day is of no great significance, it's just the fourth Thursday in November, but even so, when everyone else disappears to be with the people they love you can't help but feel a bit lonely.
