  “So, what are you doing about gravity?” asks Z. We’re sitting in a resort in Jordan’s Wadi Rum with an old, old friend of mine from the UK, A, who handily happens to be producing a movie there.

  Im loving the chance to wander through quiet parks while the owlets run in the sunshine, catching leaves, watching the people walk briskly past on their way to work... "Were free!" They shout, as they run with arms outstretched. They relish the space and the time they have to wander and go at their own pace. They ...

  Here in Aqaba, a coastal town in Jordan which is gunning for second city status but has all the verve and vigour of Bournemouth on a wet weekend, our attention has turned to the bane of our travel life, which is maths.

• Bertrand Russells "A Liberal Decalogue"
