A Road Well Travelled

What Follows In This Book Is The Story Of My Life 1937-1968. It Is A Story Of A Sometimes Difficult Journey From Troubled Childhood To Self Discovery As An Adult. On The Way I Learnt To Overcome Adversity And To Take Responsibility For My Decisions And Actions. This Learning Process Was Mainly Achieved Through Travel Which Was And Still Is An Abiding Passion. For Many Years I Tried To Compartmentalize Some Events And Memories From My Early Childhood Which Were Unpleasant And Better Suppressed. I Found That Looking Ahead Was Considerably More Positive Than Dwelling On The Past ... There Is An Old Buddhist Saying 'If You Are Looking In The Right Direction All You Have To Do Is Keep On Walking.' I Have Done A Lot Of Walking--Preface.
