Think also of extending your horizons. If you go as a family, or on your own, keep a journal. Write down your thoughts and impressions – and even have a go at a sketch or two. It doesn’t have to be ‘great’ – it just has to be you. I’ve done this and been quite chuffed that I have! Photos also are important reminders, especially if you include family or friends in them. And, unlike me, get someone to take ones of you as well! Do let Jerry know if you come across somewhere good, especially for the family. In the meantime, we have some fascinating places and people lined up for this year, with a few opportunities where you might wish to help make a difference. Enjoy the journey with us I leave my footprints in your life – best I tread gently
