Zombie Knives and 15th century misericords that somehow don’t quite fit in while Jesus takes a nap in his fishing boat while his nets work.
Unfortunate that time yet again raised it’s head and said you mustn’t get to know Steve and Annie better.
You should have invited them to the last stop.
Sorry I am going to have to miss that party!

“Sticking Plaster” is that the invention we call super glue here in the States?

Pleased to read of so many happy coincidences and serendipity as you near the end of your long, eventful journey. My family reported very favourably on the Blackburn Meditation and meeting you. Bike much admired.
I wish you a happy conclusion to Highway Cello, under, I hope, the starry ceiling above the choir in Carlisle’s little cathedral.

Hi Kenny,
I guess you keep redefining the rules of your pilgrimage, is that right? I guess you wondered if you were cheating if you took the train. It sounds like THE SCHEDULE is at times a heavy task-master, am I right? Sometimes you have to skip lovely lunches and wonderful tea and cakes in order to meet the demands of THE SCHEDULE. I know it’s all been laid out, THE PLAN, so maybe you can’t be flexible this time. But next time, if you could, would you design a different schedule? Put in more leisurely days? Stay here and there with nothing to do? Dawdle? Daydream? Drift?

Another eventful day on your pilgrimage, enhanced by you meeting up with Annie and Steve who were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary by listening to your concert and who had their own amazing touring cycle tales to share of South America.
Successfully accessing Settle Station and managing to take your bike on the train, you always seem to find a way to surmount the myriad obstacles that could hinder the progress of your pilgrimage.
Carlisle awaits and the end of your pilgrimage, your very own independence day on July 4th to celebrate and rest your weary legs.

I’m SO glad you caught the train!!
Perfect xx Just Perfect :))

I imagine you ‘propped it up!’ en-route (your trusty steed that is!) so you could keep your legs ‘cycling’!!!!!!! :)))

I love the thought of ‘Settle up’ and ‘Settle down’ too.

You paint a happy picture of all you met. Vibrant. Bless the student girls, the happy couple who met you and the teacher who recognized you for her class!

The story about Annie and Steve is lovely! What a pity you were unable to share their anniversary lunch. Hoping that the end of your pilgrimage is equally celebratory!

Did the benches on the other platform ask you to settle up?
