SOUTH OF FRANCE

Joe cycling just outside our village (Paraza) in a very fetching singlet.

Crossing the Canal du Midi.

The nice Rose (bottle) and the nasty Rose (5L cask)

Carcassonne

Boeuf Coeur (or beef heart) ... apparently a BIG hit with the French fish. Joe's first bite snapped his rod in half !!!

UDINE Far East Film Festival

The weekend after the Easter long weekend I met up with Tim and Carol in Italy for the Far East Film Festival. It was so much fun and I felt like such a celebrity with my special guest pass. (although I didn't necessarily look like one!)

A square in Udine.

Tim and Carol with gelatis. We had MANY!

Tim doing a TV interview.

Me with a very cute Fiat 500.

BARCELONA

We headed off to Barcelona over the Easter long weekend. It was super fun and the first time we had seen the sun in ages!!

Joe and Gill at Barcelona's home ground.

We saw Barcelona play Villa Real.

Soaking up the sun in Parc Guell.

Close up of a mosaic at Parc Guell

Me drinking sangria!!!

Gaudi's Casa Battlo. My favourite place in Barcelona! (not counting restaurants)

SOUTH DOWNS WAY Walking with Toastie and Kath!

The plan was to walk 40km over two days along the South Downs Way... unfortunately I got sick with a stomach bug on the first night and Joe and I had to cut our trip short (we still walked 20km!)

Toastie and Kath made it the whole way!!

Kath in the market in Lewes (just before we started our walk) It really did look just like parmesan! Amazing!!

Joe and I at the top of a rather big hill!
The water in all of the cattle troughs was frozen over!
Coming down the hill (that's snow on the ground!) into Alfriston
Our first glipse of Alfriston, a gorgeous town! (although I don't recommend their fish and chips)

LONDON Home Sweet Home

Am posting these pictures at Mum and Dad's request!
This is where we live. It isn't all ours... we share with 4 others... but have the top floor (which has its own bathroom) all to ourselves!
