TOPICS INCLUDE:


NEVER DIE WONDERING

As a result of living a varied and interesting life Wendy wrote a book to encourage others not to let opportunities pass them by. It is a common fault that we put off what we want to do most until a more suitable time, the danger being that it may pass us by. Wendy takes a refreshing look at how to lead a fulfilled, no regret life and Never Die Wondering.

TRAVELS WITH GRANNY
Wendy took her grandchildren one at a time on holiday for a one to one experience. Callum at the age of eleven chose to go to Rome, specifically to see the Colosseum. Connie aged nine, went to Slovenia to enjoy horse riding, water rafting and cycling. Tom, aged eleven, went to Istanbul where east meets west and Toby, aged ten, went to Crete to explore Greek history. The spin off from each journey was that granny and grandchild got to know each other and were able to spend a special time together that has never been forgotten and made for a special relationship between them.

TRAVELS IN UNUSUAL PLACES:

UGANDA
Working as a volunteer in Uganda in a village school she experienced the simple life and what it means to the children to gain an education with the support and help of people from the western world. She visited a refugee camp housing people from ten different countries, including Congo, Rwanda, Sudan, and Eritrea. She also went by herself, with a guide, to see the gorillas in the mountains on the Uganda Rwanda border

CYCLING THE CAMINO ST JACQUES
At the age of 58 and wondering what to do next with her life, Wendy and her friend Linda, cycled from Le Puy, in the south of France, to Santiago de Compostella, in North West Spain. 1,000 miles, over four mountain ranges, taking five weeks to complete the journey. It was the journey of a life time that taught them patience, tolerance and perseverance.

GUATAMALA
Wendy’s husband was working in Guatamala and so for a week she travelled about the city and places nearby on her own. The next week, with her husband, she travelled up country to the Mayan temples and the mysteries of an ancient civilisation. Along the way she stayed in the strange fishing village of Livingstone, went horse riding and swam through a long, dark cave.

ECUADOR
Wendy wanted to go away for a month. Her husband didn’t, and so she decided to go with two other friends. As the time drew near the friends pulled out because they had read about civil unrest in the country on the internet. Wendy decided to go anyway and only spent the first week on her own. Other friends asked if they could join her and came out a week later. Because of the civil unrest Wendy and her friends went out to the Galapago Islands, a little good comes out of something bad. They also travelled high up in the mountains on top of a small train that snaked its way up and down this beautiful country. They walked in the hills high above Otavalo and experienced armed soldiers on the streets of Quito.

INDIA
As a result of helping a young Indian man through education in England Wendy went out to India to visit his family who lived in a mud house in a small village outside Calcutta. The resulting experience of both city life and rural life in India left a big impact. She also travelled up to Darjeeling, and on a subsequent visit, travelled on overnight trains to see the Taj Mahal stopping off along the way. She saw the holy city of Varanassi and the erotic carvings on temples deep in the countryside.
