A few more photos from our stay with Nicole & Daniel. Back to normal next time!.
We visited a beautiful village called Arcangues with amazing views over the low hills to the Pyrenees in the distance - once again it was deliciously warm (17°C). The grave is of Luis Mariano, a famous Basque tenor who died in 1970 but whose grave is still always full of flowers. I was treated to several impressions of his musical style!

In the afternoon we were driven down the coast to Hendaye, the last town in France, Spain just over the estuary. Our hosts wanted to show us the Château d'Abbadie but we could only see its neoGothic exterior from a distance as it was closed. Instead we did a wonderful clifftop walk with amazing views of seabirds atop 'les Deux Jumeaux' (why 2 Twins, I wondered!!)

Next morning N&D went off to work - didn't hear a thing! - and we departed for Vendée leaving the glorious sun around Bordeaux. Here's to our next visit, if they'll have us. Merci, Nicole & Daniel!

Il semble que David n'ait pas été convaicu par notre interprétation de Mexico de Luis Mariano.
Voila un site permettant de mieux apprécier ce morceau de choix. c'est sa voix mais pas sa tête. On attend avec impatience la prestation de David pour ce karaoké

Hi Dave & Tine
It's lovely to keep up to date with your news - sounds a wonderful life!
We teachers do have occasional, unexpected treats and it happened today - electrical problems closed the school! So we had a relaxed pub lunch and a pint of Landlord - it was almost like being retired! Looking forward to skiing at half term too!
Enjoy!
Thanks for Christmas card and Happy New Year to you too!
Bisous, Gill & Andy xxxx
