Goodness...have I really been away that long?? One of my friends has completely changed her name and my friends list has shrunk away! I am so sorry people. Life has been a little insane and WHY did no one tell me that children took your life over in such a complately insane way?? ;)

I have missed VT. Unfortunately I feel I have little of value to add to a travel site when I travel little beyond the confines of my own mind. Well, who knows...maybe it will interest the odd random passerby..so I shall ramble away in my own little corner of the world...too much wine tonight...apologies all! Will update very soon!!

If I accept you as you are I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that. Goethe

I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and to see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die to discover that I had not lived.I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite neccessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meaness of it, and publish its meaness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.

Henry David Thoreau

My favourite pages are my Israel ones although they are not finished yet. I was there for a year several years ago so I adding my memories as they come back to me, but it was an experience that changed my life and me as a person. i hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoyed writing about it.
A lot was written when I was in Cornwall, so some useful info there for visitors. Exeter pages to come when I have the photos to accompany them. As usual reels of film gathering dust in drawers....really must get digitalised for 2005!! ;-)
