PHILOSOPHY

i try to keep an open mind on different religions,philosophys,as everyone has there own ideas and the 2 mingle into each other.i have been into the hindu culture as i have spent a lot of time in my favourite country india,but now,i think they all have there place in the common scheme of things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i think one of the best things i have done is the trek to everest in 1971.we treked for 35 days and its still my best memory of travelling.Ishfaham in the south of iran is amazing as was the souk in damascas.the bus journey down to Bagdad with a load of Elfatha soldiers on it was an experience to savour as was going into afghanistan from Iran as Harat was like going back in time 300 years.the very best thing tho.was my 5 children and 5 granchildren love them to bits.
