      Thank you, @mspath. I wish you and your husband a warm and Happy Christmas. There are many iterations of this favourite carol of mine, but here is one, which I hope you and all who open the link may enjoy.

      Just imagine. A Compostela is awarded to anyone who makes pilgrimage to the shrine of Santiago, with religious intent or at least in a sense of search. There will be no prize for walking 100km in the best trainers; merino knickers; finest...

      dbier reacted to Tincatinker's post in the thread 450,000 Pilgrims with Like Like.
      Somewhere between 1985 and 1995? Otherwise you’ll have to be a bit more specific. What sort of weather, how much company and what level of service would you prefer? A few years ago I would have answered your question with a trite “whenever you...

      dbier reacted to scruffy1's post in the thread Happy Hanuka! with Thank you Thank you.
      Walking the Camino, we often lose the track of the day or the week. This is a reminder for all our Jewish Brethren that our Hanuka Holiday, falls on the 25th of December . You may have a hard time finding a potato pancake but a croqueta with a...

      dbier reacted to sillydoll's post in the thread Before yesterday I didn't know that . . . with Thank you Thank you.
      In the early Middle Ages the 30 December was St James’ Feast day, based on the old Hispanic (Mozarabic) rite. In the 11th century King Alfonso VI abolished the Hispanic rite in favour of the Roman rite and 25 July became the principal feast day...
