I am on tank water, so there is not much pressure and because the garden is uphill an irrigation system is not possible.

My friend Claudia Pond Eyley has illustrated a delightful children's book about the Camino called 'Lilibut's Big Adventure', by Maris O'Rourke. (Lillibut is a pig!) I read it often to Mira, so we 'walk' the Camino too.<br />This will be such a pilgrimage for you.Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542985048406828693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-31848512896114060702013-01-31T21:46:12.206+13:002013-01-31T21:46:12.206+13:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470961835179653158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-36613233821256567812013-01-31T21:46:10.674+13:002013-01-31T21:46:10.674+13:00Loved your Summer Newsletter Juliet.

End of March I leave to walk The Camino in Spain, and walking has become the focus of my days, both physically ..walking walking, and spiritually as ponder and read about pilgrimage and Spain, and gather words and practices that inspire me. The preparation has been an integral part of the journey. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470961835179653158noreply@blogger.com
