What Next?

I was looking at my blog trying to work out how I changed the layout for something more personal when I read the comment under the title 'The story of me and what life has thrown at me good and bad and where I go from here' - Mmh I thought - that's the question, where do I go from here? Truly I have no idea. I am still recovering from the stroke, unable to drive (yet) and still wobbly and a bit dizzy but able to sit behind a computer all day if I have to! Until I am fit and well again, or at least as well as I am going to be, which could in reality take years rather than months for all I know, I will just have to wait and think and dream about what may or may not happen to me. It is said that people make their own luck. Well, I'm not so sure cos I certainly have tried, believe me. But back to 'where I go from here'. My ambition is to travel. I devour the programmes on the telly which show you far off places which you know in your heart you are never going to get to. However, there are a lot of very accessible places now, lots of them off the beaten track and and available to those who have the drive and of course, not forgetting, the money. I have the drive!
Strangely enough money is not at the top of my list, it's second. A companion to go travelling with is at the top. I have a very good, lifelong friend who lives in Denmark. We are of a similar age, have similar baggage and similar tastes. We both want to travel. She has been to many countries in the world already, either luxurious or not. She is always a possibility.
A great book for the would be traveller is 1001 Natural Wonders You Must See Before You Die by Michael Bright.

I have ticked off about 20!!
Well back to work for me, but it's nice to dream.

Hello Sprokitt! Good to see your post, and good luck with the travel plans. My dream destination (don't laugh) is Cape Wrath and the white sandy beaches of Sutherland.

To change your layout etc click on the "Customise" link top right of the page, then follow the tabs. Under the layout tab you have the option to "choose new template". Mrs Flummery (Veg Heaven) and I both use Minima Stretch if that's of any interest to you.

Hope that helps, shout if it doesn't! hugs, Bilbo
