Some of the time I grew up near Manchester, but we travelled the length and breadth of Britain looking for fossils, minerals crystals etc.
Also lived near Salzburg, Austria....now I live in Ireland...but we have travelled around Europe, again fossilling. Now I just like to travel sightseeing.

Wow, Uk is cool but Austria must have been a stunning place to explore. I once got the opportunity to ski off season in Val d'Isère, 1850 metres up in the French Alps. The lower slopes were covered in wild flowers and there was much amazing geology to behold, uncovered by the snows which had departed for summer. The pictures and postcards of the historic first climbers in the
area are etched into my brain, so incredibly daring with woollen jumpers and tweed jackets to fend off the cold!
I love Ireland - I took a quick trip across the beautiful Emerald isle to the west coast for a surf and to see friends back in the 90's - wonderful people in Ireland ... they could talk/gossip on an Olympic level - impressive wonderful folk!
A pleasure to meet you - keep well
