And so that's it!... I'm on my way home....journey/adventure over. 5 days, several stops and even more breweries. I had some great times, drunk way too much beer (detox is calling) and met some interesting people. But as I wizz through the lake district countryside on my super efficient and comfy Pendalino train, feeling a little worse for wear😊....I have time for one final reflection

I have repeatedly spoke about the kindness of strangers in this blog and how much I enjoy meeting people...this much is true. But it also doesn't negate the warmth, joy and love I receive from my dearest friends and family. I am very lucky to have all of them in my life and I will never take this for granted. I can't wait to get home and give them all a big cuddle. 🤗This is my truth, but you definitely need people in your life honest enough to share their truth, how they see it and let's be honest...sometimes I need telling!! 

Finally, let me close with this...I would never wish to deny myself my adventurous spirit.. I literally couldn't live without it but I nevertheless have the utmost admiration and respect for those close to me that have to put up with it. Solo adventuring can be a cruel mistress- she can provide a lusty thrill that makes life come alive for me, but she also often robs you of precious time spent with the people that matter the most. So for now at least, it's time to 'Let Her Go'. ❤️Xxxx
