my inspiration:
"For all the hours in foreign airports ...for the times with a phrase book...
for all the missed ferries and hours on the M1...
for the nats and bugs...
for all the people that make it worthwhile and those that don’t ...
for all the mountains climbed and those that should have been...
for all the cuts and burns...
for all the spilt milk...
for all the bad wine!!! and the good!!! For all the burnt pans and shiny new fridges ...
if a steps worth taking ...
make it a journey....
For the wills and will not’s...
the staff that come and go...
the hissy fits and the know it alls...
the missed appointments and the annoying tantrums ...
the rivers crossed and the sites revisited that left us wondering why...
our journey has become an expedition it’s amazing...
come and join us the waters lovely...."
