High Flying

I used to love flying to many countries, usually warm countries and travelling, especially to Turkey and Australia. Turkey has always been a pull, I loved the people and the culture, and the fascination of Istanbul, its markets, architecture and the Bosphorus.

Australia had a fantastic beach culture and wonderful libraries. I used to walk along the beaches picking up and diving for shells. I arrived in Albany, WA, with a terrible cough, so I went to the library, recovered, and borrowed a book on how to make necklaces from beach combing. My shell necklaces paid for a three-month holiday, and the necklaces funded me in finding and starting a teaching job, when I returned home to my small island.

I couldn’t settle in Japan, although I did my best to learn Japanese, left Japan as quickly as possible, for Australia with a paid ticket to work in Sydney and a paid ticket back to UK where I lived at the time. That was my first visit to Aus, a wonderful job with accommodation and travel at weekends, loved the place.

These days its nothing but hustle in airports and immigration. Times have changed, it’s no longer easy or always safe to fly to foreign countries, IMO.

My bucket list is/was to fly in a balloon over Cappadoccia.

I did fly off a 30 ft ladder one day and got up and made a coffee, hurt my little finger, otherwise, unscathed.
