    Destinations

    As my brain shrinks and memories, along with eyesight, fade I wanted to write about the trips I have taken, sometimes endured, throughout my brief blip on this planet. I have not written about everywhere I have been, especially in the UK, but most places are covered. Those that are hold particular memories for me. If I have written about them they are linked below.
