| Subjects: | After nearly 40 years in the public sector, I decided to walk the 500 mile Camino pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain. I succeeded because someone told me I'd never do it - the thought of laughing in his face sustained me through the hottest, steepest, tired-est parts. The vicar asked me to turn the experience into a slide-show in aid of the church roof, an audience member told her Women's Institute about it, and the whole thing grew from that. The resulting, growing range of PowerPoint presentations reflects my personal interests and MA studies.
I have a laptop and projector so all you need to provide is a screen (or large blank wall) and the audience. I'm not afraid of Zoom
