Camino 2020?

I don’t think so! I started this blog in 2013 and I’ve been on a Camino every year since then. These have all been brilliant holidays (even when injuries stopped me in my tracks). Now I can only read about it! This is a small part of my book collection:


Fortunately, I haven’t made any bookings that have to be cancelled. This is unusual for me, as normally I have everything planned and sewn up by January at the latest. I was toying with the idea of travelling along the Norte and into the Picos de Europa by public transport, since my bad knee will not cope with long days on the trail. Now my plans are on hold.

The Coronavirus is closing in. I’ve cancelled my weekly Seniors Exercise Class, as I’m not convinced the equipment is cleaned properly. Hopefully the weather is cooling down, so that daily walks in the fresh air are still feasible. Our weekly delivery of groceries from Woolworths is becoming problematic as more and more people try to jump on the bandwagon of online shopping. I used to order on Fridays for a Saturday morning delivery, but now you need to order two weeks ahead, such is the demand. At least we got some toilet rolls last week without having to fight for it in a supermarket aisle!

One blogger wrote that she had 5 bottles of Scotch stashed away. My stash is woeful in comparison: half a bottle of gin, half a bottle of whiskey and some Aperol. We do have a couple of cartons of red and white wine and one bottle of Aldi’s champagne. Should I get more?

  1. I agree the virus is closing in. I believe without blogging friends all over the world, we might not realize it so.
    Cannot advise you on booze; gave up drinking long ago. If I could, I would order in some very fine scotch.
