Joanna, from London joins me
Straight as an arrow could well described the rocky ancient Roman roads we traveled today. After five hours of straight road, dreary could also be said. What perfect setting for a pilgrim’s welcoming station, Foot Rest. We felt as though the volunteer had been waiting all day long for Joanna and I to arrive. He brightened up just like a hungry puppy greeting its mother.
Welcome
sometimes has a flat quality. This volunteer’s
Welcome
could not have been more sincere or more appreciated.
