Pema

... our dear Sherpa friend is happy to be going home on Wednesday after 10 weeks away from his family in Khumjung near Everest (which he has climbed 3 times... his wife won't let him go there anymore, thank goodness). He comes to make paths on Diablerets mountain in the summer, Nepal's monsoon time, when he can get a Swiss visa, with his friend, Lobsang, who is too shy to come out with us. It was lovely to go to see him with Claire, who was with us in Nepal in 2015, and her husband Max. See extras ... Portrait lens hardly ever gets used but it did today.

Hope you are having a great "long weekend".
