    Anyone here resembling this cartoon?

    Why would one not want to think about the Camino? is it at all possible anyway to stop thinking about it, once you’ve walked it? planning to walk the CF again in February 2024, wondering what it will be like at that time of year…..

    John Brierley is seriously ill - an invitation to send messages of thanks and support.

    John, you are one of a very select group of people who, being seriously ill, receive messages of love, concern and prayers sent from people quite literally all over this world, the vast majority of whom haven’t met you or each other and yet have read, followed and loved your guidebooks.

    Did you frame your credential?

    This is what I’ve been doing this lockdown week, something I’ve planned to do for ages. And it was great fun! Now, whenever I go into that room I stand and study the photos again and again. Is that daft? It’s really good to see all the beautiful ways others have framed theirs. Buen Camino!

    Calm Down

    A million Thank Yous, Malachiuri. (Now that's what you call an interesting name.) In 5 weeks time a friend and I will be travelling from northern Scotland to SJPP to begin our first Camino to Santiago and, a very big maybe, to Finnisterre. Your post is so encouraging, am really grateful and...
