Popping in on old mates






We managed to do our long-distance visiting last weekend, and luckily Anil and Mick were still in Dordogne, about to set off home the following day. They'd experienced the incredible storms the weekend before and many of their jobs took longer than expected. Thankfully Anil warned us to bring our wellies so we were able to have another look around the very impressive land on which Anil, Anita & Arun are going to build their home.

The first photo shows Mick just woken from his afternoon slumber. It's good to see that some things don't change!! Anil and Mick moved the temporary mobile home to this position after it sinking into the mud on several occasions. It is really quite luxurious inside. Photo 2 shows Anil's weather station which feeds all the information inside to a very sophisticated apparatus. Boys' toys, heh?

The other shots show the mobile home in its new position near to their own private wood, the catkins making a valiant effort to prove that spring is on its way.

Sadly we only stayed for about 45 minutes before continuing our journey to Figeac. More next time...

(The camera is repaired and we're back to fighting form!)
