It has been a month since I walked into Santiago. I can't quite believe how much has happened in that month.
The key focus has been working hard on making those changes to my life work back in the real world.
Great being back at school. ..I really missed the child contact over the 3 months.
Funny also that today I have just visited St James Church in Kerikeri. .a beautiful little wooden church dating back to the early missionaries. So. different to the magnificent cathedral of St James back in Santiago. .just 1 month ago.
I am on pilgrimage again..that is a surprise. The biennial Anglican Schools conference is based in Waitangi..Northland. The birthplace of NZ.
The pilgrimage is focusing on the 1st Christian preaching in NZ, back in 1814..Christmas Day.
The photo shows the Waiapu delegates to the pilgrimage in front of the Marsden cross..which commerates the bringing of Christianity to these islands.
The two days so far have been very special..the welcome onto Te Tii Marae at Waitangi..where Te Tiriti was signed in 1840 and then our trip to Oihi to see Marsden's site.
I am in Kerikeri right now, on the verandah of Kemp's house typing this, realising that my life now is so different. .post camino.
It' s early days...but they are good days.
