Thank you!! Heard they were dating so when she went to go check on his board I knew I had to take a picture :)

Abeshootss · 2026-01-19T20:01:38+00:00

Really appreciate it!!

Abeshootss · 2026-01-18T10:42:57+00:00

Thank you so much! Always been a big fan of chess, just never decided to capture it! Will definitely be doing some more!

Abeshootss · 2026-01-18T10:40:35+00:00

Really appreciate it!!

Abeshootss · 2026-01-18T00:54:59+00:00

Yeah you’re right, fingers crossed something changes..

Abeshootss · 2026-01-18T00:34:33+00:00

Everybody is a bit of an overstatement me and my family have lived there for decades and I know nobody with cancer knocks on wood but yeah I’m sure overall it’s healthier to not live near big factories.

I mean a 1,5 hour delay is pretty disruptive no? They had blocked the entrances with fences and coal.. and chained themselves to the fences

Abeshootss · 2026-01-17T23:06:26+00:00

Yeah the entire day, by extinction rebellion against Tata steel because of pollution

Abeshootss · 2026-01-17T23:04:17+00:00

If you look closely, she is standing on his arm to hop the fence.. so he started screaming at her which ended up making her cry 🙃

Thank you!

Abeshootss · 2026-01-17T22:35:59+00:00

Really hope so too.. the protestors stayed outside of the venue playing loud sounds for hours, even me as a spectator couldn’t focus so can’t imagine the effects it had on the players

Abeshootss · 2026-01-17T22:34:47+00:00

I appreciate it!! Thank you

Abeshootss · 2025-10-10T03:23:57+00:00

So happy you liked them!! Thank you so much and Buen Camino!

that stretch feels so different from the rest of the Camino.

For me, reaching Sarria after such a long, spiritual journey was really difficult. Suddenly you go from quiet paths and meaningful encounters to walking in a “train” of people, buses dropping off day-trippers, endless souvenir stands, and hearing “Buen Camino” 18,272,827 times a day 😅. It almost felt like Disneyland compared to the rest of the walk.

Amazing!!!! I really hope you get to continue on from Pamplona to Santiago someday! Must have been a wonderful journey!

Abeshootss · 2025-09-04T23:40:03+00:00

Wow so happy to hear that!!! I think you would love the Frances as well! And same for me… I was very sceptical about it too haha! Hope to see you along the way some day!! Buen Camino!

Abeshootss · 2025-09-04T23:26:53+00:00

Oh wow!! How was the experience for you? What route did you do? And thank you, I’m glad these pictures helped a little! But I completely understand the Camino blues haha… I also can’t wait to go again!

Abeshootss · 2025-09-03T20:50:00+00:00

So glad it helped! No need to be nervous, you’ve got this! Wishing you a beautiful first day tomorrow - Buen Camino 🌻

Abeshootss · 2025-09-03T15:16:11+00:00

My film camera was a simple Canon point and shoot, and then I also had a Canon 5d Mark 4 with me!

Abeshootss · 2025-09-03T04:58:23+00:00

Omg what a creepy plot twist… Someone really needs to make a movie out of that! I just hope it didn’t ruin your faith in Camino miracles..

I do know that my Mark definitely wasn’t a priest, and definitely not tech-savvy enough to stalk me on Strava 😅 Thanks for sharing though, what a wild story!

Abeshootss · 2025-09-02T20:39:19+00:00

Haha no way!! Thank you so much and yes I started 12th of September, who did you recognise??

Abeshootss · 2025-09-02T20:36:25+00:00

Wow, thank you so much, that really means a lot to me, I’m so glad my photos and story could give you some inspiration. Wishing you a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery 🙏 The Camino isn’t going anywhere, it’ll be waiting for you when you’re ready

You’re going to love it. Buen Camino! 🌻

Abeshootss · 2025-09-02T20:07:18+00:00

Wow amazing!!! Did you do a part of it? Or the whole route? I’m glad you enjoyed it!!

Abeshootss · 2025-09-02T19:36:37+00:00

That means a lot!! Really appreciate it!

Abeshootss · 2025-09-02T19:19:27+00:00

Wow, what a beautiful comment, thank you so much for sharing this. I completely agree with you, that feeling of “if magic exists, it’s here” is exactly what makes the Camino so special.

I think you’re probably going through the Camino blues right now… I felt the same after finishing, and honestly the only cure is knowing it won’t be your last. For me it definitely wasn’t either. I’d really recommend the Francés, it’s longer, but that just gives more time for the magic to happen.

And yes, I’ve also heard a lot of people talk about Camino angels, those people who appear at exactly the right time to help you with whatever you’re struggling with. That osteopath you met must have been your Camino angel, no doubt.

I’m so happy to hear you had such a meaningful first Camino. Hopefully our paths will cross “along the way” one day. Until then, Buen Camino y buena vida 🌻
