What’s the frequency Gnosall?
“You said that irony was the shackles of youth”
Star Date: 17th July 2024
Destination: Gnosall, on the Shropshire Union Canal
Reason: The sun had his hat on (“hip, hip, hip hooray!”)
Reason Number 6: If you want to be GUARANTEED a stream of “Good Morning’s”, “Hello’s”, “How are you?”, “Lovely to see you” and other good natured human greetings, smiles and laughter, go visit an English canal when the sun has his hat on. You’ll never feel more alive.
Tunes: “Monster” by REM
Favourite Album song: “What’s the frequency Kenneth?”
Favourite all time song: “I’ll take the rain”
“I used to think as birds take wing
They sing through life so why can’t we?
We cling to this and claim the best
If this is what you’re offering
I’ll take the rain i’ll take the rain”
Songwriters: Michael Mills, Michael Stipe, Peter Buck (REM)
The second video above is superb but so much for all that.
Here’s beautiful Gnosall, a tiny village with a beautiful stretch of the Shropshire Union Canal running through the middle of a small piece of heaven in the sunshine of 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’ve been hawking my nine self-published books around the internet like a frenzied drug dealer high on his own supply and I really shouldn’t have to as this one is particularly magnificent. Treat yourself!
