About Me

Dandly
I have always travelled, but I didn’t start blogging about it until 2010, Back then I had just I retired and fondly imagined I was still middle aged. Being now over 70, I'm forced to admit that I am inexorably and ungraciously becoming an Old Man. I can still do (almost) everything I could in my youth; it just takes longer and requires more effort. I have always been curious and still enjoy travelling because that curiosity remains undimmed. I am curious about geography, languages, food, politics, religion, food, architecture, history, food (always a favourite!), wild life and the list goes on … Being a former teacher, I feel a need to share my discoveries, hence the blog. I may, perhaps, be curious in a different way, but that is for others to judge
