I walked, at the age of 70, almost 2,000 kms from the Pyrenees to Northern England. My book - "Vic's Big Walk" – is about the walk - and much else besides. "Living In The Real Cyprus" - quickly followed. Both books are now available in both e-book form and in paperback. The walk raised funds for Pancreatic Cancer research. Just click the blue donate button. All proceeds of all books go direct to the same cause. See below to read about my new fundraising project, Vic Talks The Walk

More Kennedy, Less Whales
A week after visiting JFK's grave at the Arlington National Cemetery we visited the President Kennedy Library and Museum here in Boston.
There were many splendid exhibits and films of events from the era of Camelot, 50 years ago. There was plenty of coverage of the Cuban Missile Crisis, which made me realise for the first time that I played a very part in JFK's story. Much smaller, of course, than his effect on my life.
Today was supposed to be whale-watching day. Scheduled sailing time was 10 am but at 8 am visibility was 400 metres so we took a mist-check and went for a walk around Harvard instead. By coincidence, another connection with JFK.
