Thank you for the wonderful gift of being able to walk with you in spirit.  I was not able to join you, as I would have loved to, but I got so much out of following your progress, half a world away.  Especially wonderful for me was to recall those places we have walked together.  Well Done! What an amazing experience it must have been.&lt;br&gt;
Enjoy your well earned rest.&lt;br&gt;
In amongst your 5 months of mail there should be an invitation to my wedding which I am fairly certain you will not be attending!  It's in a few weeks, and I am really looking forward to it.  I have written a song for Emma's small school extra lesson choir to sing during the ceremony, another to add to the songs I was encouraged to write by you.  &lt;br&gt;
I am feeling a tad emotional, thinking about the place you have in my life, and I thank you for it.&lt;br&gt;
your friend in music, walking and appreciation of the small places and landscape of the British Isles, in particular the Norman arch!,&lt;br&gt;

Hope Tom has not come amiss at Conyer Creek, muddy old place. The coast there about is full of old  brick fields, tho' the industry is long gone. In Victorian times, barges piled high with the rubbish of London would come up the Thames and discharge their load onto the beaches and fill up with bricks for the new building growth of London. The brick workers would set fire to the rubbish and use the ash in the brick making production, which is why it is possible to find many an old bottle, sometimes very distorted by fire, poking up out of the Swale mud.&lt;br&gt;
Hope all is well Tom!

As you know, we (Allan Sweeney and Yoko) tried to help your knees around midnight(?) after a hard day's work preparing the garden for landscaping.  &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Grecian Reiki is like singing - you can sing (do Grecian Reiki), then talk to someone, then sing more (or heal more) etc.  &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Pleased to hear you think something helped, and that you could 'overtake' people on your walk to Herne Bay the next day!      &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Let us know how it goes.  After your epic "Walk Around Britain's Coast" Yoko and I would like to offer you free therapy for your knees, to see if Grecian Reiki can get them back to where they were before you started...  You never know your luck, you angelic man...  &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Blessings and LOve&lt;br&gt;

Hope the knees continue to improve with the Pfizer "wonder pills", as you wrote in yesterdays Blog.

You may be able to get reading glasses off the shelf from Boots. Not ideal but usable - they have a selection of strengths (same for both eyes of course), and used to cost about a tenner.  I still have mine, bought in Inverness.&lt;br&gt;

Max and I had a memorable evening meal there about two days into our Mousehole honeymoon at the beginning of March 1968 - memorable in that I spent the rest of the night throwing up after some dodgy seafood soup! I wonder how many chefs have been through their kitchens since then. I remember my Polish mother-in-law getting very excited when we told her I had been sick during our honeymoon!&lt;br&gt;
We are looking forward to joining you in Devon quite soon. May the wind be ever at your back.&lt;br&gt;

Yes, it's true.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Born Into Brothels is a story of lies, half truths, distortions and exploitation. I invite you to read the newest blog and numerous other articles written on the hidden story behind the Hollywood-blessed "documentary." You read, you decide. It's your call.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
As promised, re Philip Glass, here is what Wikipedia says about Akhnaten's figure, which is apparently always depicted in Egyptian art oddly as with saging breasts, a long head and big hips... : "However, Dominic Montserrat in Akhenaten: History, Fantasy and Ancient Egypt argues that "there is now a broad consensus among Egyptologists that the exaggerated forms of Akhenaten's physical portrayal...are not to be read literally"[39] ...  the body-shape relates to some form of religious symbolism. Because the god Aten was referred to as "the mother and father of all humankind" it has been suggested that Akhenaten was made to look androgynous in artwork as a symbol of the androgyny of the god. This required "a symbolic gathering of all the attributes of the creator god into the physical body of the king himself", which will "display on earth the Aten's multiple life-giving functions".[39] Akhenaten did refer to himself as "The Unique One of Re," and he may have used his control of artistic expression to distance himself from the common people, though such a radical departure from the idealised traditional representation of the image of the Pharaoh would be truly extraordinary."  &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
He was the consort of Nefertite, the great beauty, and had several children - Tutenkhamen among them, so was a functional man! His successors reversed his religious attempt to create a monotheistic cult of the sun...</content></entry><entry><id>tag:songlineonsea.blog.co.uk,2009-05-26:/2009/05/21/day-37-may21-castle-martin-to-ilfracombe-6155138/#c10002143</id><title>In response to:Day 37 - May21 Castle Martin to Ilfracombe</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://songlineonsea.blog.co.uk/2009/05/21/day-37-may21-castle-martin-to-ilfracombe-6155138/#c10002143"/><author><name>Serena Aylward</name></author><published>2009-05-26T16:36:51+02:00</published><updated>2009-05-26T16:36:51+02:00</updated><content type="html">I spent some very happy summer holidays in this area as a child - reading your blogs is bringing it all back!

Hi Tom&lt;br&gt;
As you are walking and writing I am practising my english reading your blog . I have just found out today that you were in Minehead and I suddenly remmember my first job there as a chalet maid for 9 weeks at Butlin's . A very strange place, hard work , poor pay but lots of friends and fun! I met  my best english friend who I am going to visit in June on a shot trip to London. I bacame her dauhter's godmother . So even though Butlin's was not my cup of tea I owe them "friendship" . &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Wales was also my first exhange as an au pair girl in a family in LLandrindol wales " or something like that " ....&lt;br&gt;
a small village in Wales . That was a long time ago ....&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Keep enjoying your walking and meeting so many nice people who seem to cook quite well!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Take care &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
