Fearless in Wheaton Aston

"And I'll climb the hill in my own way"

Reflections from Wheaton Aston, 17th July 2024 (Author’s Collection)

Star Date: 17th July 2024
Destination: Wheaton Aston on the Shropshire Union Canal
Reason: The sun was out, the sky was almost blue and there were very few clouds to spoil the view
Highlight: “Hey, it’s the man with the orange trainers again and he’s wearing a Pink Floyd t-shirt!”
Tunes: “Meddle” by Pink Floyd
Favourite album song: “Fearless”
Favourite all time song: “One of These Days”

Notes for the videos: 

(1) “Fearless” ends with THE perfect old school rendition of the Liverpool Football Club anthem “You’ll Never Walk Alone” and if you think this sways my decision as to this song being my favourite Pink Floyd song then you’d probably be right!

(2) One day, when life presents itself for an hour of indulgence, get pleasantly stoned and watch “Pink Floyd — Live at Pompeii”. You’ll never feel more alive (unless you get really stoned!)

So much for all that. Here’s a pictorial stroll through Wheaton Aston on the Shropshire Union Canal on Wednesday 17th July 2024

Thanks for reading. I hope this message in a bottle in The Matrix finds you well, prospering, and the right way up in an upside down world.

Whilst you’re here, I have nine self-published books for sale on Amazon and connecting loosely with “Fearless” and Pink Floyd’s use of the Liverpool Football Club anthem “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, here’s my latest of two books on the Mighty Reds of Liverpool.
