Welcome to my Website - Travelling Trev.
My philosophy is Carpe Diem - Seize the Day!
I know life is precious and I am determined not to waste it. I believe kindness prevails.
'Gather ye rosebuds while ye may
Old time is still a-flying
And this same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying'
2005 National Primary School Teacher of the Year
It's been over four years since I started this site and it has become a record of my severe mountain addiction interspersed with quotes and poetry. Much healing has been done, much more to go! Gemma has been an angel, like Helen was, and I know I will be ok.

'To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or sea-side stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall. Teach him something of natural history, and you place in his hands a catalogue of those which are worth turning round.'
Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95), British biologist and educator
Oh me! O life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trainees of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the
foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish
than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the
struggle ever renew’d
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I
see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me
intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring–What good amid these,
O me, O life?
Answer.
That you are here–that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
What will your verse be?
'Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.'

From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;

From Shakespeare's Henry V, 1598:
