A thousand miles on foot this year? Managed a thousand miles in 12 hours yesterday by automobile and aeroplane. If only it was that easy! Now on holiday in sunny Poland, visiting family.

| The yard, Święty Wojciech. The 'mist' is wood smoke from chimneys, plus dust blown up from the yard along with that kicked up by the numerous free-ranging chickens.
The village is name after one of the patron saints of Poland, Święty (=saint) Wojciech (pronounced something like "shvee-on-té voy-cheh"), a tenth century priest murdered by pagans in the year 997. Known throughout eastern Europe, he is famous as a patron of the poor, of slaves and of prisoners, which kind of ties in nicely with the charity I'm raising a few pounds for, Freedom from Torture.
