Well, it rained on Saint Swithin's Day and true to form it's hardly stopped raining since. We did manage a Birthday picnic for Julie and Rich and the sun even made a brief appearance. So a good time was had by all!I feel for the many families who choose to holiday in this country and recall camping experiences with my own young family so many years ago!
Caught in a sudden squall on the cliff-top camping site above Whitby, we all had to hang onto our frame tent to stop being blown away, which happened to other unoccupied tents.And Julie, who was wet, experienced a mild shock when she touched the metal pole.
On another memorable holiday with family and friends in bonnie Scotland we were literally blown out of Glen Coe at 10.0'clock at night, when a sudden wind riccoche'd (?) around the surrounding mountains. Sitting in our converted ambulance nursing a seriously sprained an ankle, (which happened while taking a short walk) I watched as the large frame tent, in which the young men and boys were bedding down for the night, suddenly disappeared, leaving a couple of young men standing in their underpants and the younger ones struggling in their sleeping bags, wondering what had happened! The tent was recovered, but as night descended there was nothing for it but to bundle everything and everyone into the two vans and head south, braving the fierce gale that was bringing down branches from the trees. We stopped once, in eerily deserted Glasgow, to use public toilets, but as dawn broke over the Lake District, magically the sun broke through and we completed our holiday with tent repaired, in brilliant weather!
And the moral of this story? (There always has to be some moral for me.) So how about this one? Behind every cloud is a silver lining.
It gave us all a memorable experience and something to chuckle about ever since!
Memories are the glue that hold friends and families together and shared stories form strong emotional bonds; whether loving and joyful or unhappy and fearful.
My work in helping those with emotional issues is often through re-forming those memories and and releasing the bonds that have held them back and this is more easily achieved with EFT... the Tapping solution.
