When the kids were young, and when I was young, I used to enjoy holidays and day trips. Nowadays, my focus is armchair travelling. I don’t have the same appetite for physical travelling. I do travel a little, but I need to be pushed into it 😀. Here’s a pic of the Yorkshire Dales – one of my favourite destinations, both real and virtual.
Apart from that, I can think of little that I’ve lost interest in. With respect to my Christian faith, I’m equally pleased to listen to old hymns and old sermons from popular preachers that I enjoyed 40 years ago. Regarding music, most of the stuff that I like is from the last century apart perhaps from Coldplay and some Radiohead albums, such as In Rainbows. And I love to revisit old computer games that I played on the NES and Sega Megadrive back in the 1990s. I haven’t really changed much. I could be 12 again and I wouldn’t feel much different.
I suppose I was a bit more idealistic about politics when I was young. I was a Trotskyist at one stage, But that probably changed back in the 1980s. I do vote in elections, but I hardly know who anyone is these days. I love to see the politicians of the 1970s and 1980s in old footage, such as RTE’s Reeling in the Years, which remembers news events using the pop music of the time.
I generally like to include a hymn in my posts. The one that comes to mind today is Abide With Me. My favourite line is the following:
Change and decay, all around I see,
Oh thou who changest not, abide with me.
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Hibernia Gospel 
This really captures how travel changes with age and mindset, quiet but deeply relatable.

You’re right. You’ve explained so well how migration affects us, our age, and our circumstances. I enjoyed reading it.
