Sorry for a week without posts: as you can see we had a long weekend in Anglet which is a close neighbour of Biarritz. Our hosts were Nicole & Daniel (stauch bloggists, n'est-ce pas?!) and it was great to see them after a couple of years. Nicole and Tine were in Toulouse together when they were students (and the world was black and white)..
As you can see from the first photo our room was prepared as a shrine to Queen Elizabeth, a much-appreciated gesture. I must admit we slept well there - perhaps our royal overlooker ensured a good night's sleep!
.
After a lovely late lunch - our fault, the motorway was chock-a-block with HGVs on their way to Spain - Daniel drove us down to the lighthouse at Biarritz and we walked along the front admiring the surfers on the main beach, eventually taking time out on a bench to watch their expertise. Sorry the photo is a little dark (it was quite late by now), but look at the height of the wave!
.
N&D like a beer - yeah!! - and we sampled 'un demi' overlooking the main beach before sauntering back to the car and back home for yet more delicious grub!
.
Part Two tomorrow - I promise!

Obviously another great weekend! and well away from the endless rain and floods.
On a brighter note, today's blog has revived memories - of another long weekend, even longer ago,bst (before student time) when the world was young and then another, shorter, weekend, 'escape from La Rochelle', spent in Toulouse, and my first (very messy) experience of using a typewriter, yes when the world was black and white and unelectronic. Thank goodness for this keyboard!
