Farm on the Col de la Croix Road Re-appearing.

It must be at least 2 weeks since there was any significant snowfall in the mountains above here and this farm, which is often buried up to the rooves at this time of year, was catching the evening sun. I have taken to going out on the skinny skis to listen to the silence of the end of the day and to enjoy the lengthening shadows. I won't be able to keep it up though, yoga courses start back up again on Tuesday.

We have been so lucky with the weather recently, unlike so many of you. I hope those in the extreme wet will have some dry days and those in extreme heat will have some wet days!
