Once, a long time ago, I disappeared into the wilds of New Zealand to interview climbers for a book of interviews I was putting together ...

I was out there for a month and had the most incredible time and my companion for the journey was, by chance, Doris Lessing's 'Golden Notebooks'.

I found a quote that made me smile and will link to the others on the site found here .

She said, and I believe it to be true:
Any human anywhere will blossom in a hundred unexpected talents and capacities simply by being given the opportunity to do so.
Doris Lessing
