Abstract
The bakery has gone now, replaced by new business units, but if you drive by you can still see the wall I used to sit on waiting for the bus after work at my first job. If you keep going for a few minutes the next building you come to is the university where I was later employed as a senior lecturer in education. The distance between my first and my current jobs seems so far and yet so close, as though the puzzle of who I am is in the undulating landscape between the bakery and the university.
