Summarizing The Whole Round Trip

BACK HOME .. in Cornwall, England.

Now then .. instead of rambling on and bleedin' on, I'm now gonna draw a line under this first section (Part One) of my blog – it is definitely time to do so.

It is fair to say that the episode has been quite an adventure. I have learned lessons and experienced nearly every human emotion imaginable along the way. But IMHO, and after a lot of reflection, the greatest and the one that has left a lasting impression is the kindness shown by people who were beforehand - that is to say until this adventure began - complete strangers to me.

There is no need to mention their names, these kind folk know who they are. I need say no more - other than, I shall never forget you.

As I have unfinished business to complete 'Down Under' it is entirely conceivable that I shall see most - if not all - of you again very soon, which can be taken to mean within the next 12-24 months. I hope it comes to pass.

Meanwhile, my testimony to this 'trip of a lifetime' is in the form of a short 10-minute pictorial video, which is embedded above. DVD copies are - or will be very shortly - in the mail to those who appear in the ending credits.

And my final comment: "There's a hellofa lot a sheep in New Zealand" ... ;o)
