hi our wullie - sorry we missed you - shall have to let you know when we next come over to Bern to see our friends there - we went from Calais down to Troyes and got very into the WW1 areas and then into the timber frame buildings typical of that region - and then followed our noses and ended up...

PS - it's always "Gower" not "the Gower" - so off to Gower this weekend...!!

hi oor Wullie - we are going Calais - Champagne - Languedoc - Dordogne - les Landes - Le Havre - roughly in that order! on the hunt for ancient sweet chestnut trees and warm lakes/river swimming...our ideal swimming in the past decade can be summed up as the river Aare in Berne (bungee...
