Is the universe trying to tell me something?

[RobertI]

I’m in the process of taking an extended break from working to rest and recuperate from years of stress. One of the many things I am planning to do is spend more time on astronomy, possibly even doing some volunteering. There are no planetariums or astro organisations around here, so I wasn’t sure what I could do. Imagine my surprise when I drove into a local industrial estate, to see one of  the buildings with a spaceman and rocket outside and a sign on the building saying “It’s rocket science”. I went in to investigate and it turns out that it’s a science and astronomy education and outreach centre! What’s more they are after volunteers and also offering paid work. Of all the weird coincidences I have experienced, this is one of the strangest. I shall be keeping in contact.

Yes, what’s more it’s right next to the building where I ran a business for seven years. Stranger and stranger. 😲

It was meant to be, life throws up strange coincedences at times.

Enjoy your new calling in life.

Funny old world at times, so often something is right under your nose but unseen.

Wish you well with your recovery.

There’s the Orwell Astronomical Society near Ipswich, maybe not too far away if you have a car?

Or how about Clacton and District Astronomical Society?

Wishing you all the very best in your recovery👍

Thank you. Yes I am planning on going to the Clacton Club as they were very supportive and inspiring when I was a teenager. Time to pay back I think. 🙂
