The final leg of my pre-camino camino
Rain was forecast for the whole of this week excepting Monday, and the prophesy was not wrong. We have had days and days of downpours. Not the odd spot here and there, but determined great dollops of the wet stuff … Continue reading

From first light to sunset – what a very special day
My day started when I opend my eyes (quite late) and was greeted by this sight through my bedroom window – the first strike of the sun upon the snow covered peak of mount Maroma. I am treated to this … Continue reading
2015 – bring it on
This is the first day I have woken up in Spain for a whole month, having spent four weeks in the UK helping out with the early arrival of my grand daughter. Of course I wouldn’t have missed that experience … Continue reading

Blood swept lands…….another perspective
I recently read a blog post by Sarah Shumate who volunteered to spend a day planting poppies at the Tower of London memorial to the British and colonial servicemen lost in WWI. It’s an interesting account with some stunning photographs … Continue reading
