Put me on my death bed right now and I would spend most of my time snivelling and trying to get sympathy. In between, if you were silly enough to ask, I would probably recount my life in journeys. Student debt to solvency, single to happily married, starting points, turning points, aspirations. You know, the big stuff. I might not mention which particular diet fads worked or didn't work. I may not remember that mistake I made at work which was not significant but for which I spent nearly an entire week mentally crippling myself. I would definitely not care whether on Tuesday 24 August 2003, someone had remembered to put the bins out.

And yet on a daily basis approximately 90% of my energy is ploughed into just those issues and the bigger picture is....well, a bit over pixelated.

This is fine, I reason. And perfectly rational. What is important however is not to let stuff I won't remember prevent me from finding the time to create the memories I will cherish.

And so....operation no regrets. Beginning with a travelling adventure. Eleven months, eleven counties, two backpacks, myself, my husband and the odd mosquito along for the ride.

6 - 8 June - Geysers!

This, I am afraid, is what happens when I am trying to catch up on blogs days after the event, in the middle of the desert, without electricity.

I have gone old school and, partly because it is hard enough to find time to write new blogs and continue to edit the rather tiresome Neville the Novel, and partly because its a bit of fun, I have simply taken a series of photographs of my handwritten blog.

Good luck!

    1. Yes. My handwriting is not great at the best of times, especially when rendered on a mobile device! It's actually a real to upload the photos too _ so I think, even if originally scribbled in a notebook, it might be worth typing out the masterpieces after the event!
