"Even after all these years, Jan Morris can't quite explain what it was all about. Not sex, precisely, nor consciousness, nor identity. The celebrated travel writer tends to complain that she is "sick to death of the whole business", or, at least, of being asked about it. But last week, in a nondescript north Wales council office, we learned something important about who she really is."

QuoteThat's a sweet story
Yes it is. And a lovely one.
Life is rich. Sweet is a wonderful note on which to wander toward the end of it.
I hope Jan and Elizabeth get to wander together forever on the slopes of Snowdonia.

I remember reading her book "Conumdrum" in a previous life. I can't believe she's already eighty one. Time flies so fast just before our eyes.. *sighs*
