recently I've been worried by thoughts of the future a kind of mid-term, five years down the line future. . . 
a rather scary immobilising worry but then, I realised, rather than worrying about it (worrying being my natural disposition, you understand) I'd be better off embracing the inevitable
the children will be gone, well on the way to their own futures, and I'll have no ties to hold me here - so, I've been thinking, in my wisdom, why be here
here I mean (as in here specifically, London SWSomething Or Other; not here, Planet Earth, in general)

perhaps, I thought, that is what I should be doing! Planet Earth
it's all been very entertaining (and far more enjoyable than worrying); now I just have to decide where to go. . .

if you could travel somewhere you'd really like to?

Me? To Arthur Rackhamland! ;-)
Seriously? New York, but not in high summer.I'd have fall in New England (The American NE, not the Australian NE)
After that? BAck to my goldmine to replenish my purse, then spring in southern Africa.
What a good thing I have that gold mine, eh!
I'd travel to London. :)
And, while it's always good to have a plan, all we have it today, so rather than fretting about tomorrow, let's just enjoy right now.
I, for one, enjoy your friendship.
shot if you came to London I'd take you about and show you the sights and then whisk you off to all sorts of other interesting places
and I'd very much enjoy your company, as I enjoy your friendship
(-:
as for enjoying "right now", it's five in the morning and I've just waved Middle Teen off on a school trip - but can I get back to sleep?
*shhhhhhhhhheeeesh*
dinah I love Rackham! what would you do in southern Africa in spring? (and where in New England?)(and I'm nodding regards avoiding NYC in high summer!)
Where WOULD I go?
Should I worry that I have no answer to that?
*laughing*
Oh sure--why not!
*shaking head*
I scare myself sometimes.....
perhaps you're in just the right place already

I'd quite like to go and see the South American glaciers but it might be a bit chilly.
I'd love to return to The Amazonian Rainforest but only for a little while because it might be a bit hot.
I'd like to go to the Himalayas for a short while and travel very slowly up into the sky.
I'd like another glimpse of India in all it's colourful noisy glory.
I wouldn't mind a visit to Eastern Europe.
But failing all that, I could always go on a day trip to Bangor :)
mig oooooooooh, lovely. . . that's food for thought, for sure

(you know what I'll be humming all day long now, don't you?!)
Sorry about that :)
oh it could be worse! I could be humming "I've got a brand new combine harvester, and I'll give you the key"

I have no idea whatsoever...at this moment
