The view from the upper windows here is lovely. I made up my mind that I would get into that beautiful field somehow.

I only achieved my goal at the end of my walk today as entering the field proved harder than I could have imagine. Instead I got side tracked to an interesting point: the start of the Camino Invierno. I even walked along it for a couple of kilometres.

It was good to have a clearer idea so I could tell the pilgrims exactly how to go.

Well, eventually I did find my way into what I had heard people calling “ the cemetery” and found that it was one indeed. I slid down a slope to get in and almost ended up six feet lower!

A happy black lab bounded out of the beautiful grasses and diverted me.

It’s only 3 pm and it’s been quite exciting. I will take the desk with my amiable partner at 4 and the house is filling up nicely. Pilgrim mass tonight in the chapel. One of our duties is to lock it up at night. I feel as if I am in a 1940’s movie as we turn the creaky lock in the door and the lights are turned off. More tomorrow!
