Nine years ago I started walking the Betwixt Project in Calais, having taken the boat from Dover on the Kent coast. A flu flattened me on that first day.

Today looking over some of the first posts I made I do feel like I’m reading from another century; my walk as psychologically distant as the one made by Thomas Coryat in 1608.

In my down time from everything else happening post Brexit I’m going to revisit what made the site, look at the notebooks of stuff that didn’t, and – above all – continue to celebrate what connects us in Europe.
