The year started well with sunshine at the end of January - tea on the terrace..
Then we had two (half) days snowshoeing near Ax-les-Thermes with the walking group.
Nicky, Bryony and Morgan came for the UK half-term, we took the kids to the mountains for 3 days, but not lots of snow.
Then came lockdown, restricted to 1 hour and 1km from home for a month, but it's quite pretty here.
A month later and it was 100km.
C was a lycra lout again.
We found a beach-side campsite with good sanitary measures before the hordes arrived.
Then we stayed quietly at home, no parties, no fetes! Had to cancel our trip to Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia - thankfully, as they were at war when we would have been there!
At the end of July we took a friend from Condom and an Armenian refugee up to other friends near Auxerre.
In September we had a week walking (well strolling) in the Ardeche with the walking group - about 35 of us. Very beautiful countryside.
Just before the second lockdown we escaped to a ballet in the Grand Theatre at Bordeaux
and then the three-day event at Pau
which included carriage driving.
Back to 1 hour and 1km for a month then 3 hours and 20km. Started ordering take-away meals from local resto's and one superb one put together by top chefs of the region.
When we could travel anywhere (in France) we booked a nice apartment in Limoux and walked for 4 days.
So Happy Christmas from Montreal.
