Fair Warning

My interests are travel, photography, art history, culture and textiles.  This order of preference can vary on any given day depending on mood, weather, star alignment and interest - amongst other things.  My ramblings are not academic materials just a record for me, in some semblance of order, of our trips away; the things I've seen and done that have, as they say, expanded my world view. 

As I must have dozed off a lot in class, travelling has inspired me to do a little “research” to aid and inform my expeditions.  This means including a bit of background detail, a timeline of important events and finally an “itinerary” of the places and/or monuments we specifically visited.  Also, I will try to include interesting links, references and articles that I have “unearthed” over the years.  I will  try not to digress (well, too much anyway). 

This is a photo of me in Malaya with my friend and neighbour, Shane Holt, so it's not too hard to understand why the travel bug bit me - hard.
