I mentioned yesterday that I’d written most of that blog on the train back from Durham after having to go there to sort my eldest son’s passport.

This one too 🙂

I was 45 minutes early for my appointment and was in and out in 5 minutes so I had best the best part of a couple of hours spare before having to head to the train station.

So I had a little explore of Durham.

Beautiful place.

I checked out the castle, cathedral and town centre.

The cathedral was particularly impressive.

Mahoosive it was!

You probably don’t know this, but I have a 2:1 degree in ‘Manufacturing Engineering and Operations Management’ from what was then the best Engineering University in the country (Nottingham).

So I’m always interested in looking at buildings and other stuff that’s been ‘made’.

The main building is approaching 1,000 years old (some newer bits are nearer 500).

I couldn’t help but think that this is something “built to last”.

Until I saw a sign.

Explaining that it costs £150,000 a week to keep the cathedral open.

£30,000 of which is spent on ‘conservation’.

So, although it was ‘built to last’, it’s taking 30 grand a week to keep it like that.

Everything requires maintenance.

Just to stop it slipping slowly backwards with age.

Or, at least, to slow that regression.

Out bodies that did pretty much anything we asked of them aged 20 and recovered pretty quickly after………….

Take a bit more TLC now.

A simple fact of life.

We’re no different to Durham Cathedral.

Thankfully it has been looked after all along the way.

Many other similar age buildings are in ruins and would cost many many millions to return to their original state.

Just look at the bill for Notre Dame cathedral.

Whatever the current ‘state’ of our bodies……………..

Any TLC now will be paid back many times over in the future ( myrise.co.uk/briefing-meeting is the first step in that investment).

If it’s not far off a ‘ruin’ we can undo a good amount of that.

If you’re happy with how it’s doing, we can keep on top of that.

Either way, the bill isn’t 30k a week.

Just invest what you can (and often that investment is time, not cash).

It’ll be worth every penny, I promise 🙂

Much love,

Jon ‘Hunchback’ Hall and Matt ‘Esmeralda’ Nicholson
