There are so many, but the one I can remember most vividly is being sat (on my own) on my hotel room balcony in a small hotel looking out over Lake Como on a late spring evening as the sun was going down and the lights of the town below were going on.

I realised that whilst I was happy here, in this moment, the following day I was returning home to a relationship that didn't make me happy, but I knew there & then the time had come for me to act on it.

Which is just what I did. Went home and ended it there and then.

A true moment of both agony and ecstacy.

The island of Iona will always have a special place in my heart. There is an aura about the place, as though every single stone has a story to tell. I'm not religious but there is such a sense of peace there, it is uncanny. The view of the Clyde estuary from the south will always be with me. For me, it has never been surpassed wherever I've travelled. It is associated with some amazing memories

Had always wanted to see the Pyramids and go inside. So glad when MrB took me a few years ago but was also disappointed with the shops being so close, spoilt it a bit for me.

The Norfolk coastline is simply stunning. It's incredibly peaceful here. Even on busy days many of Norfolk's beaches have empty hideaways where you feel you have the place to yourself.

With miles and miles of wide sandy beaches, unspoilt Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and some of the best nature reserves in the country (including Titchwell, Snettisham and Cley), it's easy to see why artists and writers have flocked to the Norfolk coast for years.

Blue Flag Beaches Wells Cley Holkham Brancaster

Blakeney Thornham The Burnhams Holme-next-the-Sea Some of the best beaches and lovely coastsal villages ... lived here all my life and i love it .. and been around the uk and alot of the world . x

I love a particular area in the Scottish Highlands, the village and immediate surrounding area are real tourist hotspots.

And yet outside of July and August, you can walk for miles over moorland, through Scots pines, alongside lochs, and barely see another soul.

Occasionally, a certain lady has joined me, and on these occasions I don't see so much of the vistas, or do as much walking, I seem to get distracted!!

. I had a place like that, in a bowl of a tree, where no-one could see me in a serene, beautiful place where I visited often. I'd play my flute to the rabbits and write poetry too. It was my special place. I'd forgotten about that until you reminded me. Thanks xx

Arse End of the Universe, Cumbria

The Sun Gate, above Machu Picchu, after trekking the Inca Trail for 4 days. Our guides made us wait and took us through one at a time - 28 women and men all with tears running down their cheeks when they looked down on the classic Machu Picchu view......

or possibly it was cos we all smelt like dead llamas after 4 days camping on the trail and that made us cry....sorry, i just can't do serious

"on a more postive note, the first time i saw manhattan i was awed into submission

I feel the same way, in that taxi from JFK coming through a tunnel I start to feel excitement and when you emerge at the end of that tunnel you see the beautiful concrete jungle that is New York City, the Empire State standing proud, I always have a tear in my eye. Yeah a bunch of skyscrapers may not be beautiful to some, but to me its amazing.

Another great memory is of the beautiful seaside town of Skeggy. The first time I was allowed to take a girlfriend on holiday with me. We were allowed to go into the caravan site discotheque/goth club, which was inappropriate really cos there were only us in there who were underage (or we were the only ones that looked it). We danced to the sounds of Bauhaus, Devo and Sisters of Mercy. We were 14.

And my first holiday abroad to Ibiza where we gawped at the transvestites in Ibiza town at night and attended our first all night clubbing parties with promoters such as Pacha and Manumission.

And I know when I'm an old lady I will remember my heady days on the swinging scene going to sex clubs like Chameleons and Abfabs, my gorgeous man at my side, the two of us caught up in the complete hedonism of it all

Standing in a place called askole (no honestly!) and looking at the mountains . To be fair it's a good name for the town, but the view there is beyond comparison, the savage mountain (k2) and a number of other high places are all that is beyond.......

Inverness airport, 1970's, i was aeroplanes daft as a kid, uncle an air traffic controller, pre-strict security we have now.

Cycling from his house on the airfield on his big bicycle that was far too big for me, to the tower, having to watch left and right as you crossed the north/south runway for possible planes coming in, cycling like mad at the very thought.

Happy days, yet impossible in this day and age, gone forever sadly.

"Yes it was lovely...how did you know ??

"

I used to live in Newhey (for a short while) - never remember it being 'lovely' though

In fact other than a decent chippy and the fact it makes Milnrow look cosmopolitan, it doesn't (or at least it didn't) have much goin for it

But then again it never snowed when I lived there
