End of 2015


HAPPY NEW YEAR

Before welcoming the New Year I like to reflect on the past 12 months and think about where I have been and what I have done. Visiting new countries as I did with  Mexico, Canada and Poland continues to quench my thirst for new adventures. My travels didn't just take me to  other countries but also around the UK. In April I completed my walk across England which was quite a physical challenge. I also visited Liverpool and the Jurassic coast in Dorset/Devon.

One of the biggest challenges that I am undertaking is to visit every one of the 269 Underground stations  to research above the station and its surroundings. So far I have been to 38 stations so I have some way to go.
Spending time in Manchester with Mum and also with my granddaughter here in London has meant I have less time for voluntary work but I still help out as a sighted guide as often as I can.
Blogging gives me a great deal of pleasure as I read about new places around the world and view some incredible photos. Your continued support of my blogs and the numerous comments you write give me such a thrill.
So thank you, each and everyone of my readers and followers.


None of us know what the future holds but I wish you all a healthy, happy and blogging good year.

  2. A Happy New Year to you. 38 underground stations is a good start and while I doubted your plan was achievable, now I think it is. You have certainly travelled this year.
