As a family we did a lot of travelling to quite a few countries back in the 1970s right through until the early 2000s. We always talk about children with us even when they were very young. He taught them a lot about different places. We also as parents were young enough to enjoy the travels.

It’s now 2024 and I am two years – in fact less – away from turning 80. I have no desire to travel to any country and there are no countries in the world that I would like to visit.

I am now quite content to be a homebody.
