- Time of past OR future Camino
- walking every day for the rest of my life
when autumn arrives in New Zealand, I keep feeling the pull to be on a plane heading north to Spain.
This time two years ago I was day-by-day revising my solo Valencia to Muxia walk, and eventually realising it could not happen then.
I am now feeling more rooted than I ever have (which is a blessing)….and I know I cannot walk this year or probably even next year….but I still hope for 2026 for my planned walk (that year because the days and dates are the same as 2020 so my handmade journal will work)….and I secretly hope for a sneaky spontaneous Camino Frances in 2024.
In the meantime, when the nights get too cool for just a sheet, I savour the memories of my Caminos so far stitched into my Camino Blankets.
And even though I know I can’t go anywhere, the disappointment has gone and I find myself popping in to the forum more regularly!
