Such a morning we had. After breakfast we were met by Eleanor Kingston of the Schizophrenia Society and a couple of members. We phoned Jason at Radio and had a brief interview which apparently would be played during the day. then we went out and met other people, were interviewed by reporters and then videoed by a TV journalist.
We were treated so well by all. the emotional part for me was when Cathy read Fideles poem (he sort of read along) and then talking to him afterward. He was really sensitive to our cycling feelings which I think paralleled some of his in his daily struggles. [Fidele is a schizophrenic.] We also met with the manager of the Inn who was very welcoming. Even the waitress refused a tip. We didn’t get away until around 1pm.
