Boat Haven - The final stop


I was very aware that the group had been together  in a small minibus for nearly 4 hours. They had been asked some very deep questions and been given space to think and reflect. Up until now they had been given clear directions. Each stop had been
carefully planned and questions prepared . Now I had to give them some choices.  

We pulled up beside the Boat Haven

This museum is dedicated to the maritime history of Shetland boats. The boats are all 
traditionally built for use under oar or sail. It is well worth a visit.

I gave them the choice :

Visit the Boat Haven
Visit the nearby Bistro and indulge in coffee and chocolate cake
Walk back to Saxa Vord about a mile away.

Some folk did all three.

The important thing here was about making choices. 
Deciding on what really met your own needs at this time.
 
It was important that they each chose their own ending or was it the beginning?
