Ah lovely to hear from you and thanks for reading. The high/low thing really worked for us. Loved Hanoi although it was very cold. The Hanoians were shocked and were lighting fires in the street. xx

Ah great to hear from you. And somebody who still calls me Rosemary. Hope you’re new hip has settled down and I look forward to a game of rounders with you soon. Vietnam was amazing.

I really enjoyed your article, Rose. I think you are very brave going up a mountain on the back of a motorbike! As we get older, comfort, cleanliness and safety become increasingly important to me. I guess that […]

Totally loved that! I’d say you are definitely Travellers – it’s all about talking to local people and hearing their stories. xx
