Anything

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first (a cliche) would be the birth of my children, unsurpassed! the second a trip through Canada to Alaska with my son, the company but also the open spaces and the wildlife, the sheer vastness of the place, unspoilt. The third; South Africa, yes the scenery and the wildlife, but the whole recent history (Mandella etc) how many problems they have but against that the vitality, hope and pride of the people in creating a new nation.
