I spent the last few days of 2024 in Scotland with family, and had the opportunity to revisit St Andrew's, where my second (Scottish) pilgrimage had culminated in the summer. A wonderful opportunity to revisit some good memories, only this time with a warm bed to look forward to at the end of the day!
I picked up a few things on the beach which caught my eye: some smooth green glass, a rough red pebble, and a bleached bone. Heading out for a walk this afternoon back in Leicestershire I find them still tucked into the pocket of my jacket.
I don't always know quite what to do with these little things that grab my attention, but over the summer this blog was a great place just to mull them for a brief while. And mulling felt very much in the spirit of the slow journey made by a 50cc Pilgrim. So, as we go into the new year, I'm going to start blogging here again. All the odd bits and pieces I notice as I go slowly along. Glass and bone, red and green, rough and smooth, all jumbled together and - maybe - from time to time becoming something more coherent.
