‘In Grandmother’s Footsteps’ an article illustrated with my photographs , in Welcome Aboard, BOAC’s on board magazine. I’m in the illustrious company of James Morris and Delia Smith. ‘CCN Noble and John Keay do what their ancestors did – trek with some heroism, in the Himalayan foothills and then compare notes with them’
