I’m sorry I’m not able to respond to each of your comments right now.
I simply don’t have the time.
I’m reading them, and very much appreciating all your thoughts and well wishes and wise cracks too!
Greg – maaaaaate.
But right at the moment I’m fighting off a cold, I need as much sleep as I can get (averaging about five and a half hours at the moment), and my priority at the end of the day, apart from the usual pilgrim things such as laundry, shower etc, is to keep the posts maintained daily.
And each post usually takes over an hour.
So please accept my apologies for not responding at the moment, but each of us appreciates that you’re not only following us, but that you take the trouble to write something.
And I will respond as soon as I can. So keep ’em coming!
It’s huge fun this one, a bit demanding at times… and these next few days will be hard.
PGS - The Way 
Bill,
You owe no one apologies. You owe no one a comment. You don’t really even to blog. We all appreciate it but you are leading a tour and you owe it to yourself to be in good health!
We are all enjoying the ride or should I say walk but you take care of yourself and the tour. We can all catch up later.
Hugs
Lynda
