Easter break

It is lovely having a four day weekend instead of the normal boring two.
This is the coast of France from the plane. Light as we fly in now that the hour has changed.

Trip up the Pic du Midi. Unfortunately, due to the broken toe, I can't ski but we can go up the Pic on our ski passes, so we took advantage of that, as during the summer it will cost 35 EUR.

A while ago we did a tour and we could see really clearly from the other side of the valley where we went. Green - lifts up. Red - walking. Blue - the ski down.

There is a restaurant up there, but we took some (very tasty) sandwiches as it was fully booked.

We also did some exciting shopping in Point Vert which is the place we get animal food from and plants and various other things.

For Easter we had some very yummy lamb stew, which I have called 'Lamb odds and ends stew' as it was made with lambs neck, ribs, heart, liver and kidneys as well as aubergine, courgette, mushrooms and peppers. Doug wanted dumplings, but we didn't have any suet, so I made czech bread dumpling to go with it.


The dog has had a lovely brea. Plenty of exercise - though I can only hobble short distances we have been places she can run around, and visited various friends with dogs, which provides excitement and tires her out too.
