Setting off from Lyminge along the Royal Saxon Way on 02/11/22 I walk through the tranquil, livestock fields of the Elham Valley. As I progress, I update on the new British Prime Minister and the gloomy circumstances of a hybrid war with Russia; before mulling over the future options to continue my pilgrimage.
Walking from Folkestone on 30/09/22 I embark on a new pilgrimage route, the ‘Royal Saxon Way’ with a final destination of Minster, near Ramsgate, Kent.
Taking in the peaceful promenade to the panoramic view of Tolsford Hill onto the day’s end point of Lyminge, I update my feelings about the Queen’s passing, the fall in value of the British pound and the concerning gas leak of Nordstream 2.
NB: At 02:52 I mention the route originates from the ‘Creative Pilgrims’ group, unfortunately I confused this with the nascent Way of Saint Martin; instead this route originates from a collaboration between Kent County Council and Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Beauty. My sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

During a visit to the park in Aldington, Kent on 17/07/2021 with my son Edison I update on the lingering societal impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in spite of the large number of people who have received their vaccinations and the forthcoming United Kingdom ‘Freedom Day’ . In contrast, I add how from August 1st, France will require mandatory proof of vaccinations or a negative Covid test to enter supermarkets as the segregation and discrimination against non-vaccinated people begins to emerge.
