About me

Official Bio

Having written for fun while serving in the Royal Air Force, Keith Kellett developed his hobby into a business when he retired. He has published in many print magazines, and on the Web.

With time on his hands, he produced more work, and found, to his surprise, it ‘grew and grew’ and was good enough to finance his other hobbies; travelling, photography and computers. He is trying hard to prevent it from becoming a full-time job!

He lives near Salisbury, in the south of England, and is presently trying to get his head around blogging, podcasting and video.

Unofficial Bio:

 What else is there to say? I like travelling, writing about it, and taking images, still and video … and like sharing them. I like talking about it, too, and, as soon as I’ve worked out a way to incorporate my sound files into the blog, you’ll be hearing from me! (I’m getting there! At the moment, I can put in links to my sound files … I’ll learn how to embed soon)

Whether you’re a real or virtual traveller, I hope you like what you see here; to quote the old adage, if you like what you see, tell your friends; if you don’t, tell me!

Stay well!

Keith (Travelrat)

  3. Hi Keith,
    Wasn’t sure where to ask you this! Have just read your new bit about the legal stuff—so, I’m curious, did you have a problem with that? ie with someone taking something of yours?

  4. Hi, Keith. Do you have an email to write to, I want to ask for permission to post a photo. Otherwise, I could put the question into a comment here.

    Thanks for information,

  5. Vivienne: I didn’t, but someone I know did … just lifted an article, pasted it into a blog and put it under his own name! My friend complained to the blog’s operator … that blog is now ‘no more’

  6. Hi Keith,
    A quick thanks for linking to both my blogs—I must be mad in the head to do that! We’ll see how it goes.

  7. Was reading your comments on TravelWriter – do you really think Stonehenge should be in a Bottom 10 List?

    http://traveller.uncommontraveller.com/2008/06/20/stonehenge-no-really.aspx

  8. Yes, I do!

    I think it’s an over-exploited mess, and certainly not what a World Heritage Site deserves. Perhaps if the Stonehenge Plan had gone ahead, it might once more had a more appropriate surrounding, but as it is now, I fear it falls well short of some people’s expectations.

  9. Well, congratulations for your virtual presence, you have done a very good job. I would be delighted to receive your comments.

    I was in Malta with the RAF in 1972, but only know it slightly.

    I’ve only had time for a quick glance through your ebook, and I am impressed! I will have a deeper read later, when I’ve taken care of some business & I’ll email some comments and suggestions for you.

    Best,

    Keith

  11. Hi there, Keith! Do you remember last May, you asked me to get a photo of the Captain Cook Monument on Hawaii’s Big Island? And that I couldn’t get it for you, but I sent instead a comically disastrous photo of me with volcanic smoke appearing to billow out from my ear?

    Well…I’m happy to say that I just returned from Hawaii, and this time I made certain to get a couple of lovely shots of that monument. Would you like me to send them on, or has their moment passed?

  12. I emailed you about it. Did you get it?

    Best wishes for 2009! :D

  13. I love your site. Keep it up !

  14. Hi Keith – Thanks for your comments on my blog on Europe/US Differences in Driving.

    Best Regards,
    Amit
