After walking from Lourdes to Pamplona, from Ferrol to Santiago, and from Santiago to Finisterre I was despairing of meeting any other Forum members. And then, on the 2nd to last day at Corucbion, this wonderful pilgrim arrives with a huge grin! "I think I know you" he says.
I don't recognize him at all, even though I have a good memory for faces.
"This might help" he says and turns around to show me his Forum badge.
"Who are you?" I ask.
"I'll give you a clue - I'm from Ireland," he says. I make a huge boo-boo by suggesting he is someone who is actually from England but he doesn't take too offence!
"I am Brian McKenna" he says.
I am so pleased to finally meet a forum member and he is the only 'English' pilgrim we have that night. Brian saves our musical evening by finding a sheet with the words to the Ultreia song in French. (My copy disappeared on the 2nd night).
Thanks Brian - you made my day!
