First thing on Saturday morning, Simon and I walked from the Hedgehog Hotel to Lichfield Cathedral. I lit a candle at St Chad's shrine behind the High Altar, sat in the 'pedelavium', a row of arched niches where the first pilgrim party had their feet washed by the Cathedral's Canon Chancellor, then had some rest and reflection in St Chad's Head chapel.
In warm sunshine we then strolled to St Chad's Church at the far end of Stowe Pool to find the interpretation board marking the end (or the beginning) of The Two Saints' Way near St Chad's Well in its churchyard. The church was closed that day, so I couldn't sign the pilgrims' book which is kept there - but I shall return to do that another day and sign off here instead. THANKS FOR READING THIS BLOG!
