NOVEMBER DECEMBER 2021

 Many will be making travel plans while we are being cautioned  to stay in our bubble as the only effective way to fight climate change as  well as COVID.

Maybe that is  why on top of the security measures adopted in the face of terrorism we now have to add all the proper  travel precautions to stop the pandemic from spreading...to make travel as difficult and unpleasant as possible.

Add to that the tricky negotiations at the airport where cabifies, ubers and  private cars all have to vie for the same  space to pick up and drop off passenger, leading to frayed nerves.

Let's hope that 2022 will be the year that sensible measures will be taken  and that there will be a breakthrough at long last in clean energy which will allow us to cross continents as freely and harmlessly as the birds in the sky.
