Only 4 Weeks To Go

Thank goodness. I’m bored with training. I’m bored reading forums(a). I’m bored with guide books. I WANT TO GO…….. NOW!!!!!!
Out tomorrow on the 14 mile Burscough Loop with a full pack but no hills ‘cos the Lancashire plain is like that. You know……. plain. We were hoping to do High Cup Nick, which I will do this year, but we could only do that on Sunday due to commitments tomorrow morning, and the forecast for Appleby on Sunday is cold and wet, so we are postponing.
No other news of a Camino related type.
Have to say that the deaths of Victoria Wood and Prince is continuing the loss of artists of incredible genius that started in January. RIP both. Having been a newsagent for more years than I care to remember, the Victoria Wood song with the line ‘beat me on the bottom with my Woman’s Weekly’ has to be one of my all time favourites. It works better because I can remember the little old ladies who used to buy it.

    So after a lovely Saturday, Sunday was something of a disappointment. My wonderful football team played in a rather less than wonderful fashion to lose the Carabao Cup Final to a, frankly, bang average Newcastle Utd 2-1. If Liverpool had been playing someone half way decent they would have got hammered! The players of the…

    Friday morning was terrible! We had torrential rain. Went to the market in nearby Montrichard and got drenched. However! It cleared up. Went to Chenonceau. You know those places that you’ve seen umpteen times in photos and you think it might be an anticlimax to see them in real life? Well this really wasn’t one…

    i stopped posting on the blog because the number of people reading fell hugely and nobody was commenting. I now have a private journal which is much more satisfying as I’m just writing for me. However I thought I should post this. Last night I found a load of posts on my Facebook feed from…

  • Party Time!

    šŸŽ‰  Splendid party with old friends yesterday. We compared medications, illnesses, discussed the medications and illnesses of people who weren’t there. We solved some of the world’s problems, but not many. I managed to avoid any political discussions at all (as far as I can remember anyway) probably due to the fact I was driving…
