Today began with a very fine drizzle that stayed with us for the morning. It never poured, it wasn’t windy, it was refreshing.

Like being in Ireland! That’s what an Irish woman we met today told us.

We are trekking through countryside with very few homes or even small villages. Infrequently, one farmhouse stands alone, miles from another.

Water troughs are found in every village and town. Usually it’s non- potable water from these, but there’s often fresh water to be had elsewhere and always a public WC.
In the choir loft of an 11th C church. Not often you get that access.
Detail from this Romanesque church, base of the ribbing that supports the ceiling.
Have seen a number of houses with a metal chicken on the roof. Must research the significance.

We walked 17 miles today, the 20th, so time to pack it in.
