Can't go round it, can't go over it, oh no, better go through it!

My friend and I had a wonderful adventure in the woods a few weeks ago. Our random path brought us to a river, we didn't want to retrace our steps and debated crossing it. The children's book Bear Hunt was in my head, 'Can't go round it, can't go over it, can't go under it, oh no, better go through it!' and we did, shoes and socks came off and we waded through, boy was the water cold! Splish splash, splish, splash (the book has a sound track !

We had a few hours in the woods, mainly off the beaten track, and as we made our way back to the car-park once again we ignored the main path and followed our curiosity. It was all wonderful until we came to a locked gate! Our car was just on the other side. It would have taken us 20 mins or so to back track.

Can't go round it, can't go over it (well I could but didn't want to!), oh no, better go through it! It was quite easy actually, but my bestie chose to climb over it as her boobs are bigger than mine.

Seeing this picture today reminded me of our fun, but also it reminded me that in life sometimes we just have to 'go through it.' So whatever seems to be in your way right now, trust that there is a way of moving forward. Believe in yourself and your ability to navigate to a better place, and it's always much more fun with a friend 😉
