Hello Did this ever happen to you? Someone gets in touch, tells you that ten years ago you said something to them that inspired them to go off and do something amazing? But you had no idea! In fact you forgot even saying anything? It happened to me recently - and as a result I shall soon be travelling to Bulgaria.
