I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

    1. It is and I think I need to carry these around more as I am in dire need of some harmony and balance!

  3. I used to have a Tiger’s Eye ring, on a silver mount, in the early 1970s. It must still be around, but don’t ask me where.

  4. I’ve never heard of Falcon’s Eye, Jude, but I like your style. 🙂 This sounds a useful gem to have around.

  5. Now you have planted the ‘Rocky’ theme tune and an image of Sylvester Stallone’s muscles, right in my brain, and it’s not necessarily a good thing. 😀
