sooo... mum just called...


dad's getting home!!! :D

cellulitis, off IV and on to tablets:)
Cellulitis is horrible :(

A good friend of mine went down with it early this year and still isn't fully fit. She's an outdoor activity, hiking and mountaineering type the same age as me. It's a nasty, nasty thing.

I hope your Dad recovers quickly John

Good evening all. I have caught up by skimming through around 30 pages of posts

We have been up into Haute Languedoc today - the mountain roads were over 1000m/3300'

Views were disappointing this morning due to low cloud, but it was so peaceful. No traffic noise at all

In the afternoon we descended a little and the sun came out. We were rewarded by loads of birds of prey and butterflies. We saw a Holden Eagle really close - they're huge. There were also Buzzards, Honey Buzzards, Kestrels and Short-Toed (aka Snake) Eagles :)

Son took this of a Hummingbird Hawk Moth when we were having our picnic lunch

I took this of a pretty big green lizard in the Ladies toilets

This lake is for hydro-electricity generation

Hello Ed,

it makes me sad that your mother is sick. I wish her the very best and send you electronic hugs.
Thanks
She was recovering from a stroke at a rehabilitation facility and was doing very well.
But now it looks like all or most of her progress is gone.

Thanks, John.
I'm here with her, but she doesn't seem to understand that I've been away.
Strange.
If she understood, I'm sure she'd be quite pissed that I took her photo in this condition.

Spent some time camping in the Languedoc area.
Beautiful.:<3::)
And I remember catching lizards both big and small there, though they're fast!
But I never saw a Hummingbird Hawk Moth!
WOW! :D
Lovely photos, as usual.
