Little Steps and Big Ones?


Why did I choose this title? Well, there are a few reasons. Firstly, it is a take on a quote from one of my favourite book series: James Herriot. It is about the tales of a vet working in the Yorkshire dales around the 30s through to the 50s. It is a really good read if you like animals or just a good laugh! It is also an old BBC TV series which stars a young Peter Davison, Robert Hardy and Christopher Timothy. But anyway, back to the point, the quote is from the part where James is about to go off to war and these 5 words kept getting repeated: “Little steps and Big ‘Uns” (true Yorkshire accent!).

Even if you don’t know the source of the quote, it still gives a valuable message. My take on it is that there can be many events in our lives; big events that affect everyone, or small events that may only affect you or someone close to you; but the size of the event doesn't matter because it doesn't make it less important to that individual.

However, there are several responses to this sort of thing, what’s yours?

Much love,

Harriet
