Q What made you want to friends and family think? 

A t I should do it - Les is a really good mate of mine and he's also like Yoda! I always go to him for advice. Les had done Pilgrimage himself [in 2019] and he said, 'Rita, do it!' My twin daughters, who are 17 now, didn't bat an eyelid when I told them. They were like, 'Whatever, cool!'
