    Nanna has passed away. Dear All, Thanks for your support. Nanna passed away late this afternoon. I was with her so much this week, but sadly was not with her when she took her last breath. It is strange, I decided I needed a walk and walked to the bookshop with my husband. I wanted to buy a...

    Good Idea Sil, I was thinking he could do first week and maybe help me over the mountain, but maybe he would want to walk too fast. Maybe nice to meet at last part. And stay in comfy places at end. Have great day.

    Hello, just joined forum.

    Thanks Janet, I think my husband might do one week with me if he can stay in small hotels. While he is with I'd probably walk longer each day. Then he might go off for a golfing holiday and I can do the rest at a slower pace. Something like that. I get very stiff in my hamstrings. Not sure if I...

    Hello, just joined forum.

    Agree with you also Sil, That is why the walk is not for him and he probably won't do it. He is too competitive and hasn't worked out yet that life is about the journey and definatly the Camino seems like this. That is the impression I get from reading what people write.

    Hi Bridget and Peter, Thanks for your very amusing note. I forgot to say in my last post, congratulations or as we jewish folk say Mazeltov on your impending grandchild. Though must say makes me nervous to disappear for a while. What can happen while I am away ? Though I guess we can't control...

    Hello, just joined forum.

    Ian , I sometimes call Lionel a "grumpy old man " also. Recently I've started saying to him. Remember and appreciate how lucky you are. Appreciate all the good things you have. He turned it into an amusing joke. He spent the weekend walking around saying " I'm so lucky". It was good that he had...
