Not Sally Robbins - Re/Deux

This morning I had a delicious and delightful breakfast with Sarah Ulmer.

She said something utterly amazing, that I never thought I'd hear from someone of my generation, "You know, I really don't feel the need to travel in order to broaden my horizons. I can do that in my head."

Good for her!

Of course, I also pointed out that my top 6 favourite people in the world (apart from Grumpy - because you're always tops, dahlink!) either barely or never set foot outside Australia.

I could have gone on to point out how much of Australia four of these favourites had seen compared to how little is seen by people who can't wait to jet off to London, but that's a whole other rant.

And, you know, it just wasn't a ranty kind of morning.

No need to take umbrage, k. I'm not bagging travel, just the concept that it automatically broadens the mind and deepens the soul.

I am more upset about not being one of your top six favourite people!
