I spent my early life in India from 1934 until 1947 and most of that was in Lawrence Schools and Colleges. My father was a cavalryman and transferred to the Indian Army at the start of the 39/45 War spending time in the Western Desert, Eritrea, El Alamein and then Italy. I returned to England after the War and joined the Army spending 12 years travelling all over the place. When I came out of the Army I could not stay in one place and as a Ladies Shoe Designer travelled the world again. I settled down in 1973 in Colchester, a Garrison town with some history behind it. Travel, Reading, Writing, Photography, Judo, Tai Chi, Genealogy and Family History as well as local History . Swimming, Music, Languages, Computing.

I agree with everything that the reviewer writes but feel that they have not gone far enough. I realise that one feels limited by how much people will read but Saga Magazine, in my opinion, is a very good read indeed.

I have, over the years, flown by many airlines and luckily, with very few poor airlines. In the UK we have many operators of package holidays who try and pack in as many 'bums on seats' as possible and milk the passengers for as much as possible. Some years ago I stopped using these 'Charter' airl read more...
