The Sabbatical, By James R.A. Herriot. Part 5: Epilogue. If you were able to travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? During the second Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, James Herriot decided to collate various of the journeys he and his wife (Debbie) have made during their life together as a journal for the grandchildren. Reminiscing about their favourite places, James also includes suggestions for good books, his favourite music, as well as fine wines consumed with family and friends in the various locations.Travel with him from his beautiful home town of Berwick-upon-Tweed to Australia, New Zealand, America, Italy, France, Spain, Croatia, Turkey, and others, plus some closer to home – all 52 having their own story to tell. Sometimes humorous, sometimes sad, his observations are always thought-provoking. The Sabbatical will help you to reminisce about places you have visited – or possibly encourage you to visit them for yourself."The Sabbatical: A Year of Travel During the Pandemic" is Copyright ©2023 James R.A. Herriot, all rights reserved, and is published by Extremis Publishing Ltd.This title is available as a physical book from www.extremispublishing.com and all good online retailers and independent booksellers worldwide.

LYRICS It all started at my birthday They say you better stay home for a while I’ve been fired but I feel OK I called my dog and walked down for a mile. But people look at me as I’m so strange And all of them are talking behind a mask “You such an asshole, cover you face!” they say But I still don’t know why What’s going on, what have I done now? Then I realized that fuckin’ virus came to town… They say we got to stay home just for March But sooner changed idea and said April / May Police is coming with the drones from the sky Well, I will obey Seeing my friends on Whats App for a call And got some beers sticked up in the fridge Living a lockdown Spring Leading a masquerade Summer It’s hard to breathe now, I’m just feeling down Wearing this fucking musk in the lockdown And all the people just look like the same, It’s even hard to recognize my friends. Got to stand up boy ‘cause now it’s your turn And there’s a lesson that you’ve never learned You always thought ‘bout your pride and yourself, But now there’s someone else… What would you do if you have to die now? I’m pretty sure you’ll play the last show wiith your band! Do you remember the day you born? You feelin’ safer, now you’re alone. No friends to call now, no place to go, Those days were better, but carry on! Life is a journey, someday i twill end, Live it with girlfriends, live it with friends. Yesterday chidren, tomorrow men, If no tomorrow… Live for today! *** SPIEDO BRESCIANO RULEZ ***SHOW LESS
