Money on your doorstep and a boat to be your home.


Two things got my interest in the news in England this week.
A couple that set sail in 1976 and have sailed around the world four times and now come home, but still living in their boat. This couple who had got fade up with how things were. Have enjoyed traveling around the world.They are remarkably healthy and have a wonderful relationship.
I wonder how many of us could do this? I admire that they decided to do something that many of us think is to far fetched.

The other news that got my attention was a couple who went out and came home to find 21,480 pounds on their doorsteps. They immediately called the police. This couple have been involved in raising money for their local park. They are absolutely sure that the money is meant for the park fund raising. This money will surely help.
I wonder how many of us would be so honest. I applaud this couple in doing what is right.

So this weekend take a moment to think if you could take off and sail on a boat or would you be so honest to use a large amount of money left on your door, to do up a park that will benefit others for many years to come?
It reminds of the poem "The owl and the pussy cat."
Wishing you lots of Tasty English Delights
There's always room for one more.
