    Yes! So this. Hard to make the call (I love far off exciting places) but important (and now get to focus on closer to home exciting places!)

    The big change I hadn't made, but that I knew I had my head in the sand about, was... ❌not flying for work or hols. But the pandemic changed that 🤨 I still daydream of overseas holidays, but I'm keen to explore more of the UK for now, or to travel by train in future.
