While I enjoyed the story thus far, there are a few writing errors. You might want to take a look at your tenses. Eg. you can't say "here I was" it has to be "there I was" if you are using the past tense. You tend to lapse into the present tense : "Never mind, I’m here now and the only time I could get work in this area was this time of year, so I had no choice really. Unless I stayed in England." This piece is a good example. It makes the writing sound really flimsy if you use the present tense such as in "I'm here now" while telling a story in the past tense.
I apologize if this comment sounds rude, it was not meant to be rude, I am merely a huge fan of constructive criticism and I think it is one of the best ways to grow.
Feel free to check out my work and leave some criticism of your own.
Keep up the good work man. You are doing great. This story sounds like it is going to get really interesting. I am excited to see what you have in store.
