      I love that word, insouciance. 'Not your mother'. You are such a hoot. Let me say here and now, that phrase of mine, borrowed from a delightful woman called Deirdre, is the height of warm acceptance and approval from a generation already in the...

      I can see where you are coming from but I want to offer another perspective. I think gratitude is valuable. Gratitude to others who help us and also gratitude more generally for the little moments of happiness and relief in our lives. I think...

      Yes, I gave a pilgrim €200 once because his bank account was frozen. Everybody told me I would never see the money again. When I gave it I gave it not expecting it to be returned. However, he tracked me down and Los Arcos a few days later and...

      In these cases I (not Christian) am very willing to buy someone lunch. It's lunch, I'm not giving them hundreds of Euros. I'm not willing to financially support them for the entire Camino, but I can buy lunch. At home, I am known to take...

      Yes, of course. Sometimes my supper has been the tired packet of instant noodles in the bottom of my bag. But 1) there was a packet of noodles and 2) I didn't expect the Camino to provide a miraculous three course meal. I don't rely on the...

      Haven't we all left something on a bench, left an item behind in an albegue (yep, that would be me!) or didn't get a chance to pack food because a store was closed? Personally, I'd want to be the person sharing an apple or snacks with a hungry...

      I have met a few pilgrims walking with no support - and they are honest about it, to them I generally feel some generosity- it is an interesting commitment to walk in such a way. And it is actually a long standing Christian practice to set out...

      I have given another pilgrim money for a bed and supper more than once. I did it knowing I might never see the money again. When I give like that, I understand that once the money leaves my hands, I have no controll on what the other person does...

      I recall a couple that we knew, turning up at the Hotel Akerreta. We were having dinner and heard them check in. Everywhere was full, from Zubiri to Pamplona. Taxis all busy, busses laid on to take Pilgrims to Pamplona. The Hotel owner came...
