Have you ever been super excited about something like a gift, or perhaps a holiday, but once it comes, even though it lives up to all your expectations you still don't feel how you expected to feel?

People have winced at the idea of me doing Dry January in 2021, saying things like “I don’t think I could get through this without a drink”. Others have met me with a polar opposite response; “you might as well, nothing to drink for anyway”.

Exploring new countries, taking in new landscapes, the sights, the smells and the food! But since the world went into lockdown, during the early days, I struggled to see how I could find a new sense of adventure whilst the travel ban is in place.
