Your journey so far is something epic - I wonder if you think of it more as a pilgrimage even? I feel quite guilty that while we laze around on a cold day you are out there pounding the miles but seeing the many facets of our land. You are certainly making an impact on those you meet; I have just returned from a week's holiday to the southwest where I had a wonderful time catching up with Ann the fantastic current chaplain and my old volunteers and port staff. A very nostalgic experience. All those who have met you are singing your praises. Dave Lickman your cycling companion who is a ships' agent at the port of Plymouth and keith Lindsell, our volunteer ship visitor and your host at Bodmin particularly. They were so disappointed that with such short notice they couldnt roll out the crowds to welcome you more fittingly as you sped through, especially as there are so many who would have loved to cheer you on your way. I hope the hills of Cornwall didn't entirely wear you out - not to mention the caravans, tractors and thundering china clay lorries zipping past at top speed. They used to terrify me - and I was travelling in the large, safe tank of an AOS Vauxhall Zafira! I was particularly delighted to hear you stayed with Michael and Jenny Gilmore in Bideford who have been so faithful to AOS despite being quite an outpost for us. Wonderful people.<br /><br />Do rest assured our prayers continue with you on your journey. You hearten those you meet as much as they encourage you. So keep going and keep annoying all those 4 x4 drivers!louise carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07484818626477287301noreply@blogger.com
