I'm finding great comfort in remembering past trips or, like with your choice for the 1956 club, reading books about other people's travels. Until we can do it again safely it's a fine substitute!Claire (The Captive Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07430380065718826213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-77894967227455168742020-10-11T10:52:25.620-04:002020-10-11T10:52:25.620-04:00I am already mentally planning all kinds of trips ...I am already mentally planning all kinds of trips for when it's finally possible!Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-761138904180965512020-10-10T19:10:46.676-04:002020-10-10T19:10:46.676-04:00That sounds like a must read for me, especially as...That sounds like a must read for me, especially as reading is the only sort of travelling we can do at the moment.

The writing is beautiful, isn't it? The quote you've included here is wonderful - I had difficulty picking some out for my own review as I could have quoted almost the whole book! Your photos are lovely too.
