River Hull walk

Our River Hull walk:

We walked away from the lock, the boats, the cars and buildings, into a constantly moving expanse of nature - the winter sun filling us with its light & freshness, the clean breeze whipping small waves in the overflowing river and the dried brown reeds rippling in rhythm. 

We talked about Hull being a healing place and how people can heal - the river helping me to listen and slow down.

Our return took us back to the smell of old industry - gas and metal, cooked breakfast at the Riverview cafe - alongside a colourful tattiness of boats.

That space gave me new reserves of patience, a calmer spirit and a sense of loving people more deeply.
