I am so admirative of your achievement, both the walking and the writing. I’m looking forward to reading it. I’ve been away from Britanny for more than a month, short of heating, and should be back this week. Tell me when you are around and I will stop and greet you. Happy new year and enjoy the liminal space before your new creative spring.

So pleased to hear from you, Françoise, and hope very much that you willl return to warmth! I too am suffering awful house problems. Watching men smashing open walls is disturbing on various levels of reality and metaphor. I do hope you will like the book and get something from it. I'm around, so do let me know when you are in the vicinity.

Walls open, in winter. I do sympathize.

What a fascinating project; the first circular pilgrimage I ever read about.

Thank you, Alexander. It is an unusual one, although there is the famous Shikoku circular pilgrimage in Japan. I think it changes the nature of the journey considerably.

Ah yes, of course. And I still hope to walk Santiago-Finesterre-Muxia-Santiago. A bit of a circular pilgrimage as well now that I think of it.

Very well put and I have a sense of how you feel now all the postcard catalogue volumes are finished - what to do next.....?

What a journey, truly awe inspiring.

December is also my birth month - I will guess that you are a fellow Sagitarian :)

Happy Birthday, Wendy! I look forward to reading where 2025 will take you.

Ahh with all your wanderings I would have sworn you were Sagittarius… but that’s the zodiac for you ;)

Happy holidays to you and yours!
