We take our earth for granted. Or so we did until just a couple of weeks ago. Today we all miss a weekend trip to the seaside, or maybe a bit of hiking in the highlands…
When the Earth got bigger again
Over the last 50 years the Earth shrank. A week long journey got reduced to a plane hop. At the beginning of the year we saw new direct flights linking even the most distant cities.
Today, a place 50 miles away feels as distant as Mars. A city break becomes a walk in a park, or a drive to the outskirts to find some long forgotten footpath through the fields. We no longer look at the distance from 10000ft above. Now we discover, how far we can go on our own foot.
