After 4 days on the Norfolk Coast Path, I arrived in Norwich and discovered foot and cycle paths in honour of Edith Cavell. Since my stall as a canon was in her memory, I had to follow it! From her grave and memorials at Norwich Cathedral, I followed a main road out of town to a succession of parkland, woodland and marshland, over a bypass and along country lanes to the village of Swardestone where her father was rector.
She wrote, the night before her execution: “Standing before God and eternity I realise that patriotism is not enough; I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.”
