Goddess amongst the ivy

Being amongst the oak and ivy, wandering the mossy paths, has been restorative for me. I feel very much at home here.

The end of the day..

Wow, so glad to see this marker on the way into our village. It just means we have done the biggest miles and only have 18 to Santiago.... Where a private room and private bath awaits..

Its all about the food

I know I've always been a foodie, but far out, the magnificent meals we have been getting for pittance has been mindblowing. 

Fab wine, incredible seafood( my mouth is watering thinking  about the grilled octopus now) and super bril coffee.. Not to mention the pastries!!! OMG.. I am moving here..

One of my fave breakies is the tuna pie. Chargrilled peppers and sundried tomatoes with sweet onion and tuna inside crispy buttery pastry..( excuse me, i need to flutter and fan myself just thinking about it)

A lunchtime break at a bar with well rewarded water and a cloudy beer.. Mm.. We normally eat cheese, salami and fruit ( strawberries today) on a grassy picnic spot .

Strawberries and stuff along the way

The most amazing things are seen along the  way.... We met a man selling organic strawberries by the bag full. They were amazing and a real welcome fresh treat. Yesterday I bought a single nectarine from a man on the way. Wow what a breaky treat.

Early morning starts

I've been pleased that we have been in the track by seven every morning. 

Though that might sound late, its still dark at 6.30.. And pretty cold! 

Being rewarded with this sort of sights makes it all the better.

Age and lilly have been great walking partners. She slows him down enough so Morgan and I don't die of exhaustion

As you can see, I am still not sick of taking photos of elm forests and mossy rocks.
