It was in Barbondale. He was going blind and was sitting by a stream having a picnic with a lady (his nagging wife long gone - hence the reason for the solitary walks) and we exchanged a few smiles and pleasantries. He passed on to the great mountains and fells that lie beyond soon after.

This is quite interesting to do. Seeing a walk from both ends as it were. Sometimes we both walk downhill in the same fashion and when we finish at a cafe or bookshop or museum I jog back up the hill and get the car.

The lads love the Algarve and we will probably buy a cheap property there for an holiday home at first. Then eventually my wife and myself hope to retire there.
