Agh, two days ago I wrote probably the best entry ever and accidentally deleted it whilst chatting to someone on messenger! It has taken until now to pull myself together and I'm fighting jet lag big time. I've been reminiscing about my trip and the people I've met along the way. The world is so …
Day 3 Lisbon
I woke to the news that Anthony Bourdain died today. I'm sad. He was real and I enjoyed his quirky sense of humour. RIP you lovely man😢 I had to vacate my apartment this morning and move closer to the airport because I have a super early flight to Paris tomorrow. I'm staying in the …
Day 2 Lisbon
Gosh I was tired last night! I stayed in town and had a few wines along with dinner, wandered around the square and waterfront,then walked back to my digs. (Its a long way and luckily it doesn't get dark till really late) This morning I decided to go to the Aquarium. Not something I would …
Does anyone want to see my little “shower problem”?….

Day 1 in Lisbon
I have settled into my little apartment which is on the edge of town, and I actually cooked a meal last night. I have only two rooms at the top of a very narrow staircase but it is comfortable and clean - home for the next few days. I got up early today and after …

I've been staying with Camino buddy Colleen, visiting country markets, gorging on French cheese, wine, bread and other local produce. She lives in a beautiful cottage surrounded by a very pretty …
Bonjour tout le monde
So Gonzalo kindly showed me which platform to go to and I boarded the train to Madrid for the long journey into France. He had bought me a window seat and I sat in the train staring at the mountains I had previously climbed on the Via de la Plata. They are huge. We passed …
And Just Like That, it is Over😢
I woke super early feeling quite parched and tired on my last day. The party was fun but I was a bit frayed around the edges, and setting off in the semi darkness just before dawn, I walked out the door in search of the prized yellow arrow. The frosty air was wonderful and the …
The Birthday – in a ‘thin space’
I love the fact that people celebrate the day you were born, and that they are happy you are part of their lives. I felt so loved on Saturday and it was overwhelming to see how many people are actually reading my blogs and posts. Thank you! The day began striding out in the fog, …
