Starting my sixth (and final day) on the Camino Augustine pilgrimage along the banks of the River Stour, on 13/06/2022 I progress through the fertile fields of Kent and experience the peace of Pegwell Bay. Along the journey I ponder a forthcoming recession, Rwanda and the meaning of Pilgrimage before arriving at St. Augustines Abbey, Ramsgate and collecting my Compostela certificate.

Here is the quote I mention in the video:

to purchase a little temporary safety,
deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”

In the short term we may now seem some loosening of the Lockdown measures; although more authoritarian and tighter top-down government control can be expected. It seems likely that the cost of this Lockdown will be felt for many years.
