    Jun 2–6, 2025 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Hi ALL
    Arrived in GLACIA province today and now over the 400 mtr climb to O'CEBREIRO. Steep and long and it is behind me. Having been to O'Cebreiro with David in 2023, I was surprised what a treasure their Church was and the history it holds.
    Now 3Ks west of O'Cebreiro and on the final stages of my Camino Frances. Realising this, I'm grateful to acknowledge and know it has all been a positive experience.
    Lucky Brucee and there is a couple of weeks to go 🥰

    June 3, 2025 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    A short day for me with challenging hills, gusty winds, light rain and mist.
    The Albergue Reboleira overnight and 40+ at the Pilgrims Dinner in a spectacular dining hall.
    This Albergue is excellent and maybe the most comfortable. There were 28 at my table, mostly students and all talking at once. Hence the special vino to finish.Read more

    Hi ALL
    You would know the feeling when your adventure is to last just one more day.
    Yes I'm in that spot tonight as after 40 Days my Camino Frances will end on arrival in Santiago de Compostella.
    Happy and Grateful, but it seems too quick and too soon.
    Naturally I will Celebrate the day with fellow Pilgrims and hopefully have a photo or two to share with you.
    Here are a few from leaving Melide etc until today. Captions on photos to follow.

    I've been blessed again with doing another Camino.
    The Camino Frances with it's Spanish culture, people, food, wine wonderful Peregrinos . It is said "the Camino doesn't give you what you want, but it gives you what you need"
    And gratefully it has.

    Hi ALL
    My Camino Frances has finished but the joys and treasured adventures are vividly in my mind and heart.
    The long walks and shared Camino days easily bring out our best qualities.
    I've said "Lucky Brucee" and I am , but recently I have improved on "Lucky" and replaced it with "Blessed Brucee" because it's so true.
    My new ETA home is now 15/6/25.

    Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
    Blessed Brucee 🙏 🥰
