We're still climbing, and seeing more and more snow and ice





Up, up and up...

We continue our climb toward the top, passed old cabins and shelters.and then down through some easier valleys.
across sturdy, solid bridges...
and still looking like mountain men.
This was the first bit of proper ice we saw up close. Prior to this it was only on the top of mountains.

Day two of the holiday in the Pyrenees.

This was part of the first bit of hiking we did, on the second day. We'd stayed in Gèdre for two days, hiked up to Lake Shirley Bassey and were force fed in a brilliant hotel - the Hotel du Pyrenees - that had turquoise carpeted walls and no menus. We just ate whatever we were given.On the way to the top of the mountains on our first hike, very green, but very steep. I was sweating and breathless in about 10 minutes.
More mountain sides that we climbed.

The view up the mountain behind our hotel. Bob's Luge was there, but Bob wasn't.

Holidaying in France - Walworth hits Lourdes.

Julian and his classy glasses.The cathedral in Lourdes
The grotto in Lourdes
Julian, his glasses, the cathedral, slightly Disney feel to the place.
Me and the cathedral above the grotto.

Mary and me, what a pair, hubba hubba.


the morning after the night before!

Yet again, natural beauty reins supreme in France.
Dancing to tance in France - well, I'm not sure if it's trance, more like a traditional folk song by the looks of things.





Me, Edinburgh - what a match!

What a trilogy, Libby, Sophie and Katie.


Helping KK raise money for her walk-a-thon, check out the cleavage.


Me with Brig, while she was still only mother of one.

Me thinking "Why am I so pale?"




Daniel and me talking about serious things.


Nicolas, on his back, as usual.


Kylie, just coming off the runways of Battersea, a natural beauty at any hour of the day.


This lovely Spanish gypsy will read your fortune for 10 pesos or dance the flamenco for free, ay carumba!!
