Another one to talk about on Sunday but I've just been reminded of my Heaven and Hell cruise arriving at our moorings on the 23rd October 2018
So we've had an association at Shebdon farm moorings for 7 years now... we had a sojourn while we explored Great Haywood marina and a few months on Bobs moorings the other side of Bridge 44. But as I was reminded when we moored up yesterday back at Shebdon farm moorings how beautifully peaceful and just nice they are.
I also re read my opening text from my testing solo cruise from Fradley to Shebdon back in 2018.
Well, where do I start this rather large blog post ? I guess picking up the opening sentence, something I reflected on while moving Percy single handed from Fradley on the Trent and Mersey to Shebdon on the Shropshire Union canal..... I'm 56 now and I don't really know how I got to that age so quickly.... quickly but 56 years quickly. The same as going along the canal at 3mph, the destination seems distant based on the speed and stop starts at locks, bridge holes and moored boats but you arrive at that evenings destination and ultimately you arrive at your final destination. So the conclusion is the destination while important is not by a large margin the prize, the prize is the journey so we should all enjoy it as much as we can.
Reviewing the blog post and the text above gave me a shot of 'reality' in those 7 years I have become a tad more anxious - I've pushed myself more but the anxiety is ever present. I wish there was an anti anxiety pill but there is not and if there was I think I'd give it a miss and carry on with the odd metaphorical smack across the cheek I give myself.
