Brochures, guidebooks, tourist maps — the paperwork that I collect on each trip adds up to several extra pounds in my luggage after each trip away. Always promising myself to do online-research-only, I succumb far too easily to the siren song of brightly coloured tourism material.
Strange confession here — I still have boxes full of tourism ‘stuff’ that I collected decades ago when I still believed that they might end up in a scrapbook or some such organisational tool. Ha!
Ah well — off to London in the morning with a lightly packed suitcase — all the better for bringing back several pounds of brochures. (sigh!)
You’ll hear from me again in about a week unless I can get a stable internet connection in our budget hotel.
Bye!
