Where has the time gone? It’s hard to
believe it was 12 months ago, on 31st March 2013, that we
set off on our journey around the world. I first thought of taking
on 'the journey' about the beginning of September 2010. After all
the hard work getting organised, and the journey itself, we finally
arrived back home about the same time, three years later. I suppose I
was lucky, it all worked out fine in the end, although, I have to
say, it made me a bit more of an old man in the process. I had my
prostate removed when I got back, now on the road to recovery, apart
from potty training ie teaching myself to use the toilet, instead of
weeing myself!!!!!!
It just goes to show what you can do if
you have the energy and determination to succeed. It’s what I
wanted to do and although I upset the family a bit at the time, which
saddened me, they got over it.
Think about yourself for a moment,
doing nothing and inactivity, is not an option as you get older
by the day. There are challenges out there for everybody, you will be
surprised by what you can do if you put your mind to it!
That reminds
me, for those who are a bit ambitious and would like to follow in my
footsteps, one of our Suzuki Jimnys is for sale.
