The light at the end of the tunnel.

-
There is always a light at the end of the tunnel, but there might be a bend in the middle blocking the view.

Eventually you come out the other side....


This photo sprung to mind as soon as I saw this weeks Gallery prompt - Light.   I took it several years ago on my first narrowboat trip on the Grand Union canal, just as we came out of Blisworth tunnel.

The tunnel is 2813m long and after doing that in the dark the daylight is lovely to see as you emerge.

After digging out this photo it's now taking pride of place on my fridge to remind me that we'll always reach the light eventually!

    What a beautiful photo. I love the reflection on the water.
    We've always wanted to go on a Narrowboat. Won't be going for a while now we have the boys!

    OMG. This photo reminded me of when my Dad took a heart attack years ago. He had a near death experience and this is exactly what he described.  Going through a tunnel and seeing a beautiful light at the end of it.  He wanted to emerge into the leafy flowery countryside but suddenly felt himself pulled right back.  He survived.  He is gone now but this picture just reminded me of him.  Thank you.

I've never written this blog as if no-one was reading it, although of course when I first started no-one was reading it as no-one knew about it.  I was trying to remember the exact reasons I started it, and I think the number one was to document our move to Cyprus,   I can't imagine that I would have thought anything else would have been worth reading but that would have been interesting,  I'd have certainly enjoyed reading someone else's story, and have done many times.  I also thought it would be something to do, and a great thing to look back on,  I realised it was an important point in my life,  new Mum and moving abroad.  I was right, I do enjoy occasionally looking back over old posts,  some I hate but overall I'm pretty proud of my blog.  I do miss it, and considered many times stopping and taking it offline.  I never wanted to officially end it though and so always left it here just in case.  Back in November 2022 I wro...

My best Slimming World recipe EVER! - Cheesy Meatball Pasta Bake

Since going back to Slimming World at the start of January I've been making an effort to try some new recipes and keep varying my food every day. Although there is an endless choice when it comes to what you 'can' eat with Slimming World, like anything it's all too easy to fall into a habit of eating the same things day in and day out.  I have many SW cookbooks as well as a folder with lots of recipes that I've collected from the magazine over the years, I've actually made very few though! Last week I decided to try a new one out, and I wish I'd made it sooner! Cheesy Meatball Pasta Bake was a massive hit with the whole family and possibly one of the best main Slimming World meals I've ever made! You need... For the meatballs - 500g extra lean pork mince 6 finely chopped spring onions Dried herbs ( I used about a teaspoon each of basil and oregano) 1tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tbsp tomato puree For the sauce - 1 finely chop...
