We have now completed the second leg of our sixty miles for sixty trees. We had hoped to walk to Chartres but that proved to be too expensive so we decided to walk to Canterbury instead. Our aims were still the same, however. We wanted to give thanks for the birth of our two younger grandsons, Eli and Orin nearly a year ago. I also wanted to make the walk a pilgrimage to the burial place of St Anselm and the site of Thomas A Beckett's martyrdom to pray for a number of people who were sick or in relationship difficulties.
On the way we met some lovely people and saw the Kent countryside clothed in its autumn best with sunshine and warmth on every day. This blog is an account of the walk and the conversations we had. It is an addition to the many Canterbury Tales that have been told down the centuries from Chaucer's bold work to the present day.
We hope that you will enjoy this blog and will be prompted to donate to the charity, Azafady, who are planting trees in Madagascar ( among many other projects) on the giving site: www.bmycharity.com/sixtymilesforsixtytrees
