  ‘Next year I’m going to be 80 years old. My car will be 20 years old. Together we’ll be 100. We’re going to drive to Cairo.’ 
    
  ‘And what route are you going to take?’ 
    
  ‘I have no idea. I think I’ll keep to the right.’ 
    
  When 80-year-old Julia Albu calls in to her favourite radio show with a zany, half-baked idea, she has no idea that it will lead her to the adventure of a lifetime. 
  From helping push a 30-year-old Toyota bakkie up a precipitous mountain pass in Malawi to being ‘adopted’ by the riotous ex-pat South African community in Dar es Salaam and being fed mildly hallucinogenic ‘herbs’ by her Ethiopian driver-guide, nothing deterred 80-year-old Julia Albu from her quest to drive through Africa from the Cape to Cairo. 
  	She and her 20-year-old Toyota Conquest, Tracy – a personality in her own right – travelled through 10 African countries, from South Africa to Egypt (and beyond). Julia was accompanied by a series of companions who added texture to her travels: three of her four grown-up children, her son-in-law, and at least one person who began as a complete stranger and ended up as a friend for life. 
  	Reminiscing about her long and interesting life along the way, and maintaining a bright and upbeat outlook regardless of the circumstances, Julia proves that you’re never too old to tackle that bucket list.

  Understanding Gerbils as Pets  
  Before bringing gerbils into your life, it’s important to understand their unique characteristics and needs.

They are also highly social animals, thriving in pairs or small groups, and they form strong bonds with their owners through regular interaction and care.

  Green Greenwich reveals the many green spaces in the Royal Borough of Greenwich in south east London. Candy Blackham has spent three years exploring the woods, flowery meadows, parks and nature reserves with her camera. She shares with us her enjoyment of the many sites which are found around almost every corner, and all within forty minutes of central London. Each site has a brief historical description and photographs which tempt us to go walking every day of the year as the trees change from bare branches to green leaves, and then the brilliant jewel-like colours of autumn. As you walk in the parks discover herons, foxes, many varieties of butterflies and other insects, and of course the ever-present ring-necked parakeets. Walk along the Thames, enjoy views from hilltops, explore the canals of Thamesmead, and take time to enjoy the calm of the natural surroundings. Candy Blackham has given us another unique book which invites us to go walking beyond our usual haunts and reminds us how fortunate we are to have these green spaces and how much they depend on our protection and vigilance so that they are not lost in London's growth.
