Some people my age might remember at television series about a Clyde Puffer called the Vital Spark. The series was based on the stories of Neil Munro, who was from Inveraray, where Janet and I spent part of a day off after three days’ walk squeezed into an arduous two days.
We relaxed alongside many other tourists in this touristical spot. Oddly, it was this row of bins that caught my eye.
Anyway, to ensure that Janet’s vital spark didn’t go out, we had a day to rest and be thankful. We rested, and prayed later.
Handy that today we crossed the Rest and Be Thankful pass – much easier than crossing it on my bike nineteen years ago.
