Walking the dogs yesterday in the rain I was reminded of the day Jane and I walked in torrential rain for hours to get to Samos, and how much we enjoyed it.
This morning, again whilst walking the dogs I smelt a familiar smell that transported me straight back to the Camino- it was the smell of Fennel- a delicious aniseed smell that we found in patches on the Camino -and on Kees' bidding ate the tender top leaves.
And it's not just me- Having posted a picture of a dog on Facebook this morning I got a message from Janey that she thought it looked like a couple of dogs we had seen that were 'guarding some cows:
I love skies like that. So full of energy. I'm already regretting not being able to go with you. I'll have to live it through your next book!
ReplyDeleteI was just speaking to Janey and she was saying the same- how much she wishes she was coming too- I will try to blog as much as possible but on days when there is no internet access you may just have to be patient!!
ReplyDeleteI love that the Universe is preparing you for the next Walk, Mark ... by the sounds of it you'll be walking physically solo but with the energy of a lot of travelling companions. Great post ~ thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love it too- and yes I'll never be truly alone on the Camino- so many good friends will be hitching a ride one way or another!
