They used to use the whites to starch all the church linens, and they were also used in winemaking for something.

Derick walks while I sit in the car(due to my back problems) then onto the pub for lunch. Hope the rain keeps off for the ramblers as we are not such a hardy lot as you and Greg. No custard tarts where go. Have a good day will be thinking of you .

Most parts of the UK were wet though. We don’t have all those lovely cakes and custard tarts to cheer us up like you are getting and I must add that you truly deserve. Remember the sun is always there , just hidden by the clouds.

And the bits below the ankles will improve. We’re having a rest day in Tomar today, then a couple of shortish 20km days. Greg’s KT26s seem to be holding up okay. We’re still eating custard tarts, and we found some great little cupcakes soaked in syrup the other day. Will have to try and find more of them. Not many cream cakes here, but loads of baked things with custard in them

They are completely trashed, but I remember they were like this at this stage on the last Camino we did. I’m really looking forward to walking in a couple of weeks, when my feet feel okay, I’ve lost a few kgs and grown a few muscles and feel really fit. It’s the getting from how I feel at this early stage to feeling great that’s the hard part!

We saw the weather forecast for the UK yesterday and some areas were getting low temps of below zero! I think you’re right about getting bone scan, although my hip has settling a lot now. I keep thinking of my lovely massage therapist Trina. Maybe I’ll bring her along with me next time I do a long walk!
