From Ferrol to Santiago de Compstela

image imageI was frustrated the other evening, trying to put together a few thoughts on the past three weeks or so. Having written a paragraph, it just disappeared ; am I not au fait with this”upgrade”, or is it too quick for its own good? This time I’ ll go backwards in time & see if it works out. Today was a picnic at The National Trust site,Baddesley Clinton, with Tom,Vickee, Jude and Martha; we enjoyed a peaceful walk around the estate, followed by a picnic – the ducks left us alone for the most part! Super weather ; idyllic place.

The loss of out Brother – In – Law, Don had dominated our thoughts; his funeral, last Tuesday in Shrewsbury was well attended and a fitting farewell to a lovely man, who suffered a terrible illness with great dignity and the indomitable support of Penny, his wife and my sister.

We had a quiet celebration for Barbara’s birthday, in Berkhamsted and enjoyed some pleasant weather, in the company of Nelly,Dan and grandsons Tom & Jake.

On Tuesday of this week,I underwent a CT Thorax+Abdo+Pelvis with contrast .part of annual follow-up.As usual, it went smoothly – hope to hear nothing as a consequence!

Have to mention meet up with Mac,Dermot & Roger,( bro-in-law), for our only planning meeting with regard to our Camino Ingles, beginning 26th September. Lots of laughs and a few reminders – augurs well…..
