Walking with Friends

Los Arcos to Vijana

Today I walked with Birgette with people hadpassed away, who were too old to walk the Camino and those who had not yet found the time to walk.

We walked with a wonderful teacher and mentor from Montana who would send at least 15 birthday cards a week to former students.

We were joined by asick young danish woman, who would soon find the strength to walk alongside her great friend and step mother.

We welcomed a kind and thoughtful young Cambridge scholar, who had managed to find the strength to recover from her illness and continue her studies.

We said hello to a beautiful and courageous family doctor from Yorkshire, who refused to sit on the fence and always did her best both for her children and her patients

Next came a kind generous old woma,who could make the best black pudding in West Jutland and would always offer food to any vagabond who knocked on her door.

Along the way we bowed to the first Poet Laurette of Birmingham, five wonderful youmg people who were  crossing the threshhold of adulthood, an Icelandic wild horse and a dog that looked a bit like a dingo.
