Inspiration Wednesday is the inspired idea of The Weaver of Grass! Do click on her name to visit her blog, see her own post and the list of other participants ...The idea is to blog about who or what has inspired us. Of course, I have to start with Maureen! My serene and beautiful wife, pictured above, who has been my biggest inspiration and encouragement all our years together. I've been moved to create a new header especially in celebration!
And our children! Pictured here house-hunting before finding Necky Knoll House, you can see that even though we do not always seem to be looking in the same direction, we are all sticking our necks out together!
My former work-colleagues at Storey and Tawle Accountants also gave me
great encouragement in my decision to leave to follow my dream of
setting up Giraffe World Tours. (They've been regular customers ever
since - so it wasn't that they were glad to see the back of me!) Their
gift of my lovely new telescope reminds me of them every time I use it
to look across at planet Earth from our Camelopardalis constellation!
I
can list so many who have stuck their necks out to follow their dreams:
My glamorous sister Nektareeni, initially a lawyer, who set up her own
boutique and jointly owns the Gleeful & Greedy Restaurant with her
partner Girth, pictured below.

Our dear friend Trachelus Aplombus, engineer with AFF Gas and local historian.
*
His
apprentice, Nukkle, who plays drums with The Stiffnex band in his spare
time - often getting his spanners and drumsticks mixed up!
*
And
of course all my dear human bloggy friends, without whom there would be
no motivation to blog across the intergalactic space! Thank you all so
much for your inspiring blogs and your encouraging comments.

I hope you will join in with us in our song, 'With Our Necks Entwined' which
tells of our decision to move house and set up our family business. It
has an easy to sing chorus, sung by Maureen and Nexi, and maybe you will
be able to identify the rest of our family's voices in the verses!

Stick your necks out for your dreams!
