Today is the Feast of St James the Greater, whose grave is the destination of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.
The Gospel reading for today is Mt 20:20-28:
The mother of the sons of Zebedee approached Jesus with her sons and did him homage, wishing to ask him for something. He said to her, "What do you wish?" She answered him, "Command that these two sons of mine sit, one at your right and the other at your left, in your Kingdom." Jesus said in reply, "You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the chalice that I am going to drink?" They said to him, "We can." He replied, "My chalice you will indeed drink, but to sit at my right and at my left, this is not mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father." When the ten heard this, they became indignant at the two brothers. But Jesus summoned them and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and the great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave. Just so, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Gulp!!!!
I watched the Tour of France last night, and it showed the cyclists going through the Pyrenees, about 100km East of the first stage I plan to walk, from St Jean Pied de Ports to Roncevalles. It was very scenic but misty. A similar stage is shown in this video. I think I need to redouble my training efforts!!!

On the way to the shops
My Mother sometimes used to chat with the Rev Hulme-Moir on the way to the Mosman shops.

About a quarter of the way through a 20km walk.
This is where I lived with Mum, Dad and Nan from the age of 0 to about 4 and 6 to 8. A great house for a small boy, with lots of nooks and crannies. It was my first experience of TV, watching the test pattern until 10 in the morning, followed by "Victory at Sea"

Passing ships
On a 12km walk,
On my last 4 walks, I have met:
1 woman who has walked the Camino
1 man who plans to walk it next year and
2 people who know others who have made the walk.
Small world?
