It isn’t easy to go on long walks now that all
facilities are closed. Just imagine doing a 15 km walk, on a very foggy and
chilly day, and not finding suitable shelter along that route. After some 10 km,
passing through a tiny village a woman addressed my friend and me and asked if
we would like a cup of tea! We must have looked cold and a bit weary. She was
just going out, but invited us into her warm and cosy kitchen, made us tea and
even gave us a big piece of apple pie, fresh from the oven, which she had baked
to celebrate het husbands birthday. We kept the prescribed social distance, but she wasn’t concerned
about catching this virus and just welcomed us unconditionally. It gave us a new
impulse to set out on the last leg of
our walk. So many people now are scared of
receiving a guest in their home, even family and friends. This complete
stranger gave us what we needed at that moment. An angel on our path???On the last leg of our walk, the fog became more dense
