You’ve heard about a “black swan”... now meet the “black sheep” British phone booth... 👀👇 ⠀ 🇬🇧📞Phone booths are usually red 🚨⁉️ How did this one get to be this colour? (Best comment gets a shoutout) +1 for humor 😉😂 ⠀ What’s a “black swan”? It’s a term used in probability theory - to describe a rare event, something unusual... the origins go back when everyone in the known world, thought that swans 🦢 were only white... and that was the case until we reached Australia 🇦🇺 there it was discovered that they had black swans! So the term took hold. ⠀ In English we have a saying “a black sheep” = an odd thing or person that is different (or stands out). ⠀ To all “black sheep” / crazies / people who think different... If you stand out, have interesting moments or desires that take hold unexpectedly... this post is for you! ⠀ Embrace the moment... for every moment is an opportunity. Enjoy, and may we all have our moments... to shine! ☀️ ⠀ Even phone booths need an odd☝️out 😉 (usually they are always red) #comment4shoutout
Doing what I thought was impossible... 1163 km, amazing experiences, people and places I will always remember. One learns so many things about oneself, body and mind - to break through limitations, each and every day. The photo of me is take just outside a village in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 by a woman who was simply running past, she could see I had traveled and for some inexplicable reason felt compelled to capture the moment. I’m grateful to her, for stopping her run and thinking about it. My recovery lasted for more than 1 week, my legs and knees were in a lot of pain.. but that’s what one would expect without training and preparation. But my mind... has grown, strengthened and I’m amazed at one can do with ones thoughts and thinking... I’m glad to have made it. The kindness and generosity of people I’ve never known or met is unexpected in places you would not expect, it goes to show that people are (which I believe) innately so. Thankful for the support I had from so many. There were historical events in little villages... which were profound and I did not know about, for example huge planes that landed in fields, food and culture. I’ve had some funny interesting interactions too along the way. Would I do it again? From a limitation of mind, to test my mind - yes, most definitely! However, from a body, bike, tools, preparation... no because we can things faster and better with better equipment. My bycicle - “Jopas” survived with one to many improvised fixes... it’s old, but unique and I still ride it like the wind daily. What every you set your mind to do... you can, you just need to go out and do it. #berlintobritain
There’s just something about these houses... ⠀ photos 📸 of various houses during my #berlintobritain trip (houses from multiple countries)
#brexit #weneedtoleavenow it’s still a hot topic, everyone I speak to is either on one side or another... but all agree that they don’t like purgatory and want something done.
English roads for cycling are much to be desired... need to reach London #berlintobritain
Great English 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 pub “The dirty habit” stopped by for a meal and energy recharge 🔋 now, on my way.... #berlintobritain
Yes, the romans were here... they left us this road 😜 #berlintobritain
Louis Blériot first aviator to cross the English Channel (France to the UK). A prize of £ 1000 was offered by the English newspaper the Daily Mail to anyone who could fly across the channel in 1909. Louis did it and landed on this very spot! I’m so honored to reach these was and inspired by these great men of old #berlintobritain
One of the most amazing views from the White Cliffs of Dover... on of the most beautiful, but busiest crossings in the world #berlintobritain
