Arguably the most persuasive section is the prologue, before we reach Akhaten, a flurry of poignant moments in which the Doctor checks out Clara’s background and learns the significance of her dried maple leaf (seen last episode pressed inside her old book, 101 Places to Visit).
Well there's an old phrase "take a leaf out of my book," - or "out of someone's book." Not sure the relevance yet, but it was the first thing I thought of when the Doctor took the leaf out the book.
To me it looked like there was a similar looking tree at the front of the house she was staying in. This was where she started her journey from.
Yes. It also showed this tree quite clearly (albeit upside down) when the plane flew over in a way that kind of made me think may well have been deliberate.
Maybe collecting leaves is her thing? Maybe that's how she intended to commemorate all the wonderful places she had visited, by taking a literal leaf from each one?

That would be crazy, I doubt that's it, but would still be crazy
Now that makes a lot of sense. I like it

That's not the same leaf at all! They are very different types: this one is from the last episode.
Well then I stand corrected on that one, well I'm back to being befuddled for another 4 days till the next episode.
A good 'befuddled' though, I hope?
