Xmas 2009

18 of us enjoyed a super dinner despite the awful weather - heavy rain thunder & lightning

Visit to Tangier

Tiny bakers shop. The size is typical of all the local trade premises.

Veg stall in the Souk.

Lunch, lovely local food.

One of the very narrow streets.

Remake of Laurence of Arabia!

Sunset at Cape Trafalgar

Here we are enjoying a drink watching the sunset.The beach at Trafalgar is a 15min walk from the site.

Cordoba

We met up with Geoff & Margaret near Cordoba at a lovely site.


The city itself is fabulous with TheAlcazar & The Mezquita our favourite places. The buildings were amazing as were the gardens.

Travelling to Spain

We left France in search of the sun & crossed into Spain over the Pyrenees & through the Bielsa tunnel It was I'm afraid rather damp.

We travelled to Navajas near Valencia where we stayed for 6 nights. We enjoyed a day out in Valencia itself & enjoyrd browsing around the market.

Trevor certainly enjoyed taking the scenic route not always ideal for 2 large vehicles. We did actually meet a lorry on this narrow road -the Spanish driver had to reverse!!

Meeting up with friends

We met with Trevor & Elaine & stayed at Touzac campsite on the Lot . Lovely site but some rather chilly nights (-2)

Trevor & Derek tried fishing by the river -probably found more life in the bottle!

Montcuq Sept 2009

This is Montcuq the French village in the Southern Lot where we're going to have our house built.

The plot is at the bottom of George & Lynne's garden & we're just waiting for the geometre to sort out the new boundaries & for the maire to look at the result. Hope fully we can then start buiding perhaps around April next year.

The views are fabulous & the natives are very friendly!!

We'll keep you posted.
