No-one’s perfect…but there is this one thing…

I’d forgotten the gentle sounds of the English summer…good to be back in Blighty 👍🇬🇧

Looking forward to heading back to London and the UK very soon, for the first time in almost 4 years…Mint Mocha Musings - Nicole Webb Online

Sydney and London, more similar than you’d think? - Expat Focus If you stopped a few random residents in the street of either city to make that assertion, there’s a fair chance you’d be greeted with scepticism. If you’re a Londoner you’re probably already thinking, hang on — Sydney-siders live in a sunburnt city, but perversely your rainstorms produce ...

If you want advice about how to travel off grid, ask a Baby Boomer Travel in the 1980s may not have involved the World Wide Web, but the quality of the reviews and information available then was professional, understandable and overwhelmingly reliable.

Say it isn’t so…Don’t think they’d be very happy at the HK 7s 😳

I’ve heard it said that we all have at least one book in us…if only we could find the
inspiration and the time to write it. I’m also reliably informed by publishing sector
professionals that, “if you do write and publish something, you should tell people outside
your family!”

So, taking my courage in both hands….Europe Over The Handlebars is a nostalgic adventure from a less connected time – 1984. When physical maps, walkmans and phone
boxes were modern travel essentials; when cycling had yet to become a passion for middle-aged-men-in-lycra; and when going off grid wasn’t an option for which you had to pay extra.

It's a story about a young British/Aussie couple whose enthusiasm and determination regularly outweighed their cycling, map reading and foreign language skills. An adventure which led them across five countries in 90 days, told with tongue-in-cheek humour.

If you can still remember that time, or if the story resonates, you can check it out at
https://stevewillisauthor.com/ ,at Booktopia, or at your favourite online store. Or if you’re near Balmain, at Roaringstories bookstore.

If you enjoy it, tell me and all your friends…if you don’t, just tell me ;-)
