BLOG 101 - Breakaway....

Breakaway, a fresh start., the lyrics of this song really mark a turning point in my life. In February 2006, I was signed off work with stress and depression, something I had never suffered from until we had a very stressful few years (both my parents died, family events, to name just a few). In March 2006 we decided to go on the holiday we had planned to Cromer Lighthouse in Norfolk. On the way back my mood worsened and I felt really uneasy about returning home to Kendal. As we approached junction 36 of the M6 this song came on the iPod. The lyrics below really sum up my feelings and moods at the time and gave me some hope of a fresh start. It took months and months of discussion making and organising but we got there. We are now both much happier, both looking forward to the future, and we have left Kendal and a rather unhappy couple of years behind. The future is looking so much brighter already but as the lyrics say “ I won’t forget the ones that I love”, and that’s so true..

This is also Blog number one hundred and one! Here’s to many more about our travels.
