Get Inspired: Messing About in Boats

 "It's the ONLY thing," said the Water Rat solemnly, as he leant forward for his stroke. "Believe me, my young friend, there is NOTHING--absolutely nothing--half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. Simply messing," he went on dreamily: "messing...about...in...boats; messing..."




"...about in boats--or WITH boats," the Rat went on composedly, picking himself up with a pleasant laugh. "In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. "




"Whether you get away or whether you don't...




 ...whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular...




and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not." - The Wind in the Willows
