You’re so right about the journey, Andy!
I haven’t seen this movie. So you recommend it?

I would-I enjoyed it. I’ve liked Reese Witherspoon since Walk The Line, and the story had me thinking a little of that book by your friend, is it Andrea Watkins?

Yes. She walked the Natchez Trace, which is about 444 miles from Natchez, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee. She’s the first person to do that!

I was totally traumatised by Into the Wild that it put me off Wild, but maybe I’ll stick it back on the to watch list after all!

One of those nothing and everything sets of reasons! I started to feel I’d finished my Sweden chapter a few months ago, but am definitely done with London and somehow the thought of Glasgow popped up! I’ll be working in London a bit (and Manchester in fact!) so I reckon I’ll get the best of both worlds!

Both sides of the North-South divide.
By the way, now that I’ve just stumbled upon your new creative venture, I’ve seen through your ‘accidental’ comment under your other name. (See, your stories have made me into a sleuth!)
Your aim was to reel me in-but that’s cool. I’m glad you did, otherwise I would have missed out. And one of the old gang there too without me 😉

Haha I wish I was that subtle – I emailed the super sleuths, didn’t you get it?! I started a new account for Linley in case the Stranger ghosts infected mine for good! Whatever reeled you in I’m glad to see you!!

I love that movie, and I loved the book even more. My very first reason for looking into visiting California was that I wanted to ride The Pacific Crest Trail, the trail she is walking. I wanted to ride all the way from Mexico, to Canada. I even had the date set up for when to do it, March 2012…My daughter is born July 2012..I haven’t done the whole thing yet, but I have ridden many portions of the trail. The landscape is extraordinary!

Maybe not the best thing to do when heavily pregnant! Riding some of the trail sounds fantastic, though. Would love to see it. Maybe check out the book I’ve spoke about with Linda, above ^^ I remember her blog featuring an interview with author (she was kind enough to interview me, too!) Andrea Watkins who wrote a book about her walk, think it was something to do with her father, maybe in his memory?
