Reflection

"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give" Sir Winston Churchhill

This is one of my favourite Churchillian quotes. I have been reflecting on this as I prepare for my journey.

Less than 2 weeks to go!

With less than two weeks to go, the trip is now a reality and I am filled with excitement tinged with a little anxiety as I contemplate the number of things I still have to do at home, work and putting the finishing touches to my travel plans.
It's been really helpful reading the blogs of other travelling Fellows, as well as the blogs of friends. I have particularly enjoyed Terry's witty blog charting his and Lorain's cycle ride from Land's End enroute to John O'Groats.
