Hi Simon Not sure if any of my messages are getting through - as I don't know what my domain is.....if I'm honest, I don't know what any domain is. Hope you're not too hot! Really enjoying your write ups. Coming down the M5 on Wed (to Bristol)- shall give a wave periodically as I reckon I will pass near by. Am going to give a lecture (on jane Austen - subject of my sabbatical) at the Meth Church where I was once a Brownie..... Who'd have thought? Bye for now Love Paula
Hi Simon another warm day - hope that you managed to find some shade (pub shaped) and a cold drink (beer shaped) to help you along. Have just read your Twitter comments - nuts for lunch, nuts for dinner (and as for the chef, well we won't go there, eh? Perhaps you could buy him a drink at The Railway and he'll whistle you up a bacon sarnie at closing time?). 400 plus miles ticked off - how are you doing physically? Guess spending time with Jennifer will have given you a morale boost - not far to go now and we will have to think about hosing you down with champagne when you walk back into Hamble Road. Or had you planned to simply slip back quietly and collapse on the settee? Think again! Got 'attacked' by 3 lambs today whilst crossing a field to our site at Markfield - they thought that I was going to feed them. So cute - never any mint sauce about when you need it, though.............. Anyway, trust that you get a monster breakfast to compensate for the lack of a lunch and evening meal. Take care.
I'm a 46 year old husband, father of two and vicar in the parish of Oadby, Leicestershire. Between Easter and Pentecost in 2009 I walked home from Paris to Oadby - a peculiar kind of pilgrimage.
Buy the book!
Walking Home is now available as a 282 page book, in print and digital download.
Walking Home 2009
The route was 540 miles, from Paris where Jennifer and I honeymooned in 1986, to Oadby where I live and work today. It's a bit wiggly because friends, family, significant places and affordable accomodation don't fall on a straight line. Click here for a larger view.
