This week was a lovely week of summer weather. Most days were around 25\u00baC with sunshine. I harvested tomatoes from the garden and cooked some interesting meals using up tomatoes that were ripening too quickly. This is my idea of summer – lots of warm weather, lots of sunshine, lots of colour in the flower garden and lots of fresh meals from the kitchen garden.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

This week also had lots of mail!! Two packages arrived on Wednesday – a book on the Camino France\u00b4s from my sister-in-law in Edinburgh. “The Gathering Place” is written by a Scottish woman who walked The Way in 2020. It’s a well written, fascinating read. In fact I finished it in three days. The second package was my fourth book by John Brierley. This one was also on the Camino France\u00b4s. I have decided to walk a section of this Camino from Sarria to Santiago – just over 100kms – hopefully next Spring.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

In preparation for the journey, I managed two pre-camino walks this week. One on Tuesday for 9.1kms and one very early Saturday morning for 10.1kms. I actually
\nwalked from my house to the Brickworks market along the path known as
\nMud Creek. I had breakfast at the market and walked back!! It was amazing!!<\/p>\n

In fact, my Joy for the Joy Jar this week has to be the length and enjoyment of my walks – Buen Camino.<\/p>\n

The pictures? Garden Joy.<\/p>\n

Have an amazing week!!<\/p>\n

P.S. I will be writing more posts with more detail about my Camino preparations. However, they may all just merge with my Joy posts. It’s difficult to have a compartmentalized life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
