You either have it or you don’t. And in the grand scheme of things it’s not such a big deal, not something to shout about from the rooftops. But that’s never stopped me from doing so. Because, although I am only too aware of my shortcomings (and reminded of them on a daily basis by my wife Joanna), I know for certain that my sense of direction is pretty much flawless.
Plonk me down in the middle of a city anywhere in the world and I will find my way back to any spot, just as long as I have been there at least once before, however briefly.
