Flashes of memories - MUGABE MUST GO!!! ZIMBABWEANS NEED THEIR HOME BACK

 
There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness - Carl Jung To be at one with God is to be at peace ... peace is to be found only within, and unless one finds it there he will never find it at all. Peace lies not in the external world. It lies within one's own soul. - Ralph Waldo Trine

Travel is the stuff of the gods!

As the sun rises on my second day in the UK I sit tapping away and listening to a few birds chirping outside in the fresh morning air. It`s chilly but the snow has melted - perhaps we will see some next week when I go further north to visit a few relatives.

I won`t be posting too many travel blogs on this one... it gives me an excuse to use my domain, which is a TRAVEL site, so if you care to keep up with the travels I have posted the first one here

It`s WONDERFUL to be travelling again. My body feels alive and my mind clear. The cherry trees were blooming in Japan and flying over the north of Asia was just ioncredible - it really made me realise how big the earth is - flying for around 10 hours at about 500 miles an hour over NOTHING... wasteland, But beautiful, beautiful scenery, like you have never seen before. But that will come later.

All I can say is thank goodness I never landed at the new Heathrow Terminal! What a joke!


bon voyage fellow travellers!

Aaah Tracy, Galaxy, now that's made me drool ... you bad girl *giggle*

Yo ho Ash,

Wonderful to hear that you have landed safely and that the snow is on the melt-side of the season... I remember those winters well.

Look forward to your travel blog and journeying with you ... gosh it sounds good so far and made me realise that it has been too long since I visited my birthland.

Warming hugs ...

Lilla ...

Did you fly over Siberia/Russia? I did that on my flight to Rome, and I was intrigued by the landscape below.

Hi Lilla

Yes made it safe and sound... although still struggling with the jet lag and adjusting to the new time difference - although i dont mind sitting up till the wee hours letting it all filter in. Flying into London was great - first time i have really seen it properly from the air as I have never had a window seat before! wooo hoooo!

Take care on your own travels

Wowee, Ash, six weeks that's fantastic!!

I love Monster Munch too, in fact I love all English chocolates and crisps, have one or more for me. I might as well just admit I'm a piggy!!

Enjoy and have a brilliant time

I know what you mean... I haven`t been into the shops yet but we need to do some grocery shopping today so I will have to try and control myself.

Thanks for your well wishes!

Hi Anon

Yes, that was the flight path that we had and it was absolutely spectacular. As it`s end of winter now there was ice and snow dusting the mountains and frozen rivers.... spectacular!

Hi Toni

ooohhhh sorry! You still have time - just make sure you dont land at Terminal 5 at Heathrow. Im not sure if you are getting the news over there but it`s an absolute joke - in the past 3 days nearly 300 flights have been cancelled and 15000 bags are lost in the system!

Ash
