In view of exalting my family on this blog, here’s Dad in action again getting excited about his tunnel. (he’s the second guy who appears with a hard hat and funny goggles on) Seriously, it’s a pretty cool thing. (well if you’ve lived with it affecting your parent for 20 years..)

Talking about the brilliant hope we have. Seeing some people smile and seem to really get it. Popping in on Mum and Dad on the way home for more hugs and fun. Home to the other family, good food, wine and more fun.

Early morning beach trip. Sitting talking to the Maker. Mum, Dad, the feeling of contentment that only family can bring, not having to say anything, saying anything that comes into my head, walking the downs, reciting the old familiar Arnold silliness at each other. Parent hugs. The best kind. At nine in the evening- “I think I’ll go to bed now”. Fresh clean sheets await me.
One man and a tunnel.

Over the last few months excitement has built up in the Arnold family as finally the tunnel project my Dad has been working on has started to be built. To understand the significance of this you have to go back to about 20 years ago when Dad first started working on the scheme. Yes. 20 years ago. I think Dad might have had a happier life if he’d have just got paid to bang his head against a brick wall for 20 years. After many starting and stopping it’s finally being done and I am proud of my Dad. He project manages this scheme. And if you clicky click here you’ll see his tunnel and about 30 seconds of him saying something about boring machines (hehe).
Thoughts of a cynical idealist.
