A busy day today! So tried to keep my steps-count up in 3 bits. Hoovered the car… Does that count? Long shadows and the fields looking resplendent in the late evening sun.

A different kind of walk today
Our monthly Faith trail down Leeds Road – starting with showing visitors round our church, then visiting a local mosque, Hindu temple and Sikh temple, finishing at Bradford cathedral. Today we were joined by a bishop, several police officers (in camouflage) and residents from Leeds and Yeadon. Plenty of food and discussions on the wayContinue reading “A different kind of walk today”

Instead of my usual walking by myself, this is a 3 day pilgrimage I’m leading –Continue reading “I’ve been walking…but not blogging”
The Two Saints Way
El Camino de los Dos Santos The Two saints way from Lichfield to chester and back I’ve been doing plenty of walking this past summer, but now I feel ready to undertake a new challenge – another Camino – this time an actual rather than a virtual pilgrimage.

Arriving to birdsong: Completing my Camino
Yesterday I arrived in Santiago de Compostela after walking 280 km, or rather I would have arrived there if I had been able to complete my pilgrimage in Spain. But as I can’t walk in Spain, I’ve walked it here in England. And so I completed the route equivalent of walking from Porto to Santiago.Continue reading “Arriving to birdsong: Completing my Camino”
