Sometimes the Mountains are Real

I started this blog nearly 10 years ago. Having reached the
age of 50 then (60 now!), and having seen my first child married, I wanted to
put into words the ‘meaning of life’ as I saw it, woven from stories, pictures,
faith and news items. And that’s what I’ve done.

Once in a while, a mountain climbing clothes store or a
mountain climbing club comes along and asks if they can advertise on my site. I’m
flattered that anyone would want to advertise on my blog, but clearly all they
have done is read the headlines!

But now and again, the philosophical meets the literal. I’m
just back from a delightful week in Wales with friends. Fitter than me, they
liked the idea of climbing mountains, so there I was one day, at the top of
Cadair Idris, Wales’ second highest mountain.

Literal or metaphorical, physical or philosophical, may I
continue to encourage my readers to reach the heights!
