September
Meg Clark - Kangaroos, Castles & Beyond
The Armchair Travel talk given by Meg Clark in September covered her trips to Perth and Melbourne in Australia, Edinburgh and Cardiff in Scotland for two Six Nations rugby matches and Madeira, where driving on the wrong side of their narrow, winding, picturesque roads was a challenge. The holiday ended with a nerve racking trip to catch their flight home when Heathrow Airport was partially closed due to a fire.
