Many years later as a result of my first trip abroad, to Brittany, my interest in paper changed to making up my first scrapbook. I returned with guidebooks, leaflets, postcards, hotel and restaurant bills and together with my daily diary my first holiday scrapbook was born. Since that time I have created a book on my return from every interesting holiday -from the eastern delights of Malaysia, to the mind-bending traffic of Delhi, to the tranquil houseboat on that earthly paradise, Dal Lake in Kashmir. In Europe a memorable Semana Santa (Holy week) is recorded in Seville in contrast to an icebound, but beautiful, Prague and my favourite cities of Venice and Paris.<\/p>\n<p>My books of memories now provide interesting price changes (\u00a337 for a tour of Italy in the 50s!) and also enable me to make return visits when I am sitting beside a rain-lashed window simply by flicking a page and when I close the book at the end of the journey I do not have to battle with Terminal 5 or similar, I just lean back and plan my next tour.
