We did rebuild Dougals windscreen on the dining room table, and later constructed a new cockpit floor there too, but rebuilding a Perkins engine in the kitchen takes things to another level :-) Respect! 😜
Amazing piece of writing ✍️ I love the combination of the practical element and the spiritual. Your ending today really moved me…
Please keep going as I know sometimes knuckling down to write must be a struggle and doubts must creep in for example ‘is it worth it’ etc?
It really really is worth it! As you have said there are so many blogs/vlogs etc out there that are so glamorous and make it all seem wonderful but c’mon 🤷🏼♂️ for me personally I don’t find them at all motivating but what you are doing and how you are writing about it IS INSPIRING!
I have a quote app that this came up with recently:
‘If only you could sense
how important you are to
the lives of those you meet;
how important you can be
to people you may never
even dream of. There is
something of yourself that
you leave at every meeting
with another person.’
-Fred Rogers
Don’t ask me who Fred is but I think this a lovely reminder to keep going when things get tough as we really never know how we are helping others even with a few words and the smallest actions.
Keep it up 👍🏻
Take care and oh P.S. have you watched ‘the bumbling sailor’ on you tube. He’s another inspiration starting with zero knowledge etc give him a look. His first video is classic anti glitz and had me hooked 😂👍🏻
