Thanks so much for all the lovely supportive comments on my recent post, which I wrote by way of introducing my next camino, but also to remind myself how to make a post. I write on my blog so sporadically these days that the long gap between posts renders my brain to mush and I have to dig deep to work out what I need to do
Returning from my camino last year on the airport bus we took a route through the BS3 area of Bristol where the annual ‘Upfest’ event was taking place. Billed as Europe’s largest urban arts festival and Bristol’s No 1 urban art gallery, it really is most impressive with building after building – seemingly entire streets – decorated with the most vibrant street art. Check it out – guaranteed to make you smile.
Anyway this led to an idea forming in my camino addled brain which soon developed into a well rounded immovable plan. I wanted a mural of my own, featuring some of my favourite camino images. I tracked down a muralist – the very talented Danksy – and a date was set to adorn my stairwell with my very own personal camino heaven.
And here is the result. I feel so privileged to be able to enjoy this work of art every time I trot up or down stairs.
Although the video only runs for one minute Danielle (Danksy) was actually working on my project for five days and was entirely charming – even encouraging my granddaughter Sophia to paint a couple of poppies.

One of the very many benefits of living alone is being able to indulge myself just how and when I please.
Wow. Just Wow.
