Sadly I've decided to abandon this year's walk.
Although she held up well to her first short outing in March, Jamilla stumbled towards the end of the first day of our walk to St Albans this week.
A fix proved not to be so, and she lurched along like a drunkard the next day. We abandoned our...
If you're taking Aer Lingus from the states then that is by far the best airline to travel with. Because if your first flight is delayed its their responsibility to get you on the next available onward flight
Yes, it's great - if THEY also play the game. I went to Sevilla with them last year. Never again!!!
I did everything right, but THEY moved the goalposts - i.e. three weeks before I was due to travel (and the day before the Feria) they informed me they'd changed my booking -- to a flight which...
Be VERY careful with 'Ruinair'. They're a cheap airline, but they make up the money shortfall by charging you top dollar if you get one little thing wrong.
eg - you MUST check in on-line and print out your boarding card correctly; you must NOT have a carry-on bag that's even one inch bigger or...
My donkey is called Jamilla - so I'm Jamilla's mum.
She's called Jamilla because it's a variation of Jamal or Kamel (male) which means 'perfection' - and my donkey is striving towards perfection.

Triana is a lovely hostel. I stayed there last year, not knowing beforehand that it was a camino jumping-off point.
Look forward to meeting you there...
Margaret, I have several photos. However I'm not too good at editing the ones I have, to fit as an avatar.
Hopefully, tomorrow I'll be able to add one.
(Jamilla - the name means 'perfect' or 'beautiful' one - will have a voice, but I will control it .... and she most definitely won't snore...
Hi everyone (I do so like saying 'hi' - it's Arabic for 'life', so 'long life' to all).
I'm starting out from Seville along the via de la plata with Jamilla, my donkey, on 27 April, after arriving there from London on 23rd April.
It will be our very first Camino, as Jamilla was conceived in...
