Just as I also walked for three days on the Shropshire Union Canal earlier in the walk and the three cathedrals of Truro, Gloucester and Worcester. This is down to the rule of threes. Three little pigs, the bears, three Billy Goats Gruff: when writing make it three. Except of course there was the 13 days on the Severn Way and the various one offs like a boat lift, a wetlands trust, a Boatyard bus cafe and a Red Bambo van. All of which supports the finding that it&#8217;s fine to write in threes or not.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-427\" src=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/DSC_8138-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/DSC_8138-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/DSC_8138-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/DSC_8138-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/DSC_8138-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\nThe Leeds and Liverpool Canal continued as the green corridor of calm to the Johnson&#8217;s Hillock Locks and then veered off towards the Cuerden Valley Park. Another beautiful green route this time busier as there was a community fair in progress. This made the route a bit confused and I came out on the A49 a bit further down the road. Bob had worked it out and was there to meet me. We walked up to the large Sainsbury store together and relaxed in the cafe.\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-426\" src=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/DSC_8142-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/DSC_8142-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/DSC_8142-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/DSC_8142-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foowr.org.uk\/lejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/DSC_8142-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From Psalm 139<br \/>\n<em>How precious to me are your thoughts God!<\/em><br \/>\n<em>How huge the total of them!<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Were I to count them, they would out number the grains of sand,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Yet when I wake up,\u00a0I am still with you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Lost or not, I am still in your company.<br \/>\nCounting grains of sand or leaves on trees,<br \/>\nYou out number me every time.<br \/>\nAwake or asleep you keep me close.<br \/>\nTonight I am tired and ask<br \/>\nGod grant me a quiet night and a peaceful end.<\/p>\n<p>JAL 26.05.2019<br \/>\nFrom the Boatyard Bus Cafe to a random Sainsbury car park near Bamber Bridge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 50 of the End to End sounds like a glorious day.
