I truly love the brain in my head. It is an amazing organ and I am so grateful that it is in good health. It does such a great job. However, it is not my only brain…
I may not be a true pilgrim (yet!) but el Camino de Santiago has definitely guided a lot of my life over the last 18 months.
It has been just over a month since I last wrote a blog and it has flown past in a blur of buying a new car, planning our move, packing, loading, cleaning, moving, unloading, unpacking and settling in to our beautiful new home here at La Girouette.
