    Grackle Solo travelling with so much confidence is testament to how fighting and challenging anxiety and fear over and over again, eventually leads to it no longer being a fear! So proud of you Grace as I remember how homesick you used to get just being away from the family household for just one night! Go girl 💪❤️ the world is your oyster 🙌🙌🙌

I live in Leicester and we have cool museums, the tomb of Richard III, amazing indian food (really unique cuisines like indo chinese and gujarati), The Tiny Bakey (bit of you!), canals and parks, big festivals (like diwali, englands oldest comedy festival and navratri) and we now have the tallest piece of street art in Europe! Happy to show you around if you ever want to come:)

    I’m 36 and did my first solo trip a couple months ago to see someone in concert. I went to a museum, stayed for hours! Saw a comedy show. I wish I had the nerve to start doing this earlier! It has now led to me buying VIP tickets to concerts to acts no one else know but me. I’ve started going to movies on my day off. I’ve stopped always trying to look for people to go do things with me because I wanted to do that thing, if I want to go, I go, and if I happen to see someone I know when I get there, even better! 🖤

We did almost all the things you did, except the one day I was alone when she was working I rented a bike and cycled about by myself (forgot bike shorts so didn't go too far, haha!! Didn't want to flash everyone!!) and found cycle trails and a place to sit and read. We went on a punting boat tour and learned loads of facts so I'd recommend that too! Love the Fitzwilliam museum too, really good.

The old, periodic, gold gilded, ostentatious ones - The plain non descriptive company motorway ones, The privately 'one off' ones, and The modern boutique tasteful furnished interior ones. (The latter being personal preference).
