So, I have a confession… when Sian sent us the link for this blog about your adventures back in May, I honestly only clicked on it to be polite! I hate boats with an passion, and like your friend Charlotte, strongly believe in staying on dry land, preferably within the confines of our garden!
HOWEVER. I bloody LOVE these updates. I love the way you write - you’re completely hilarious and you make me laugh out loud…a LOT! I love the descriptions of what you’re up to, the pictures are heavenly…and for a little while I’m transported to another world away from the Purbeck wind and rain! I look forward to every update, and I am actually now hugely jealous of what you are both doing despite it involving boats!! 🤮 😂
I also feel inspired to look a little more closely at the possibility of a sabbatical after 34 years of solid NHS grind!
Keep these coming. I’ll be ready with my (very) comfy garden chair (26 quid from Sainsbo’s, down from 50!) and a coffee in hand.
Ahh Karen and Lawrence! What an absolutely lovely message to be greeted with this morning!!! You've made my day. So nice to think of you sitting in your garden chair (absolute bargain) having a coffee and catching up on our trip. Making me miss windy rainy Dorset!! And YES bloody DO that sabbatical!!! Life is short and the world is big. And if you ever DO fancy a trip on a boat, you know who to come to! Failing that, looking forward to a proper catch-up in the New Inn in the not too distant future. Loads of love XXXXX
Morning Sarah and Charlie!
