French Exercise - volume 1

Sunday 30th May - Did the very pleasant walk up to our barn from Fougaron for probably the last time. Exercise wise - a good half hour of uphill walking at a level where I was glowing well and where Husband was asking me if I was OK! I used poles uphill and passed them onto Husband for downhill - a system that worked well as he still feels self conscious about using them before his ankles hurt. He still managed to knacker his knee though.

Nature stuff - Saw a pine martin! It shot across the path ahead of us - just about clocked the body length, head shape and big fluffy tail. Plus primroses and violets. The woods were looking beautiful - new almost lime green sweet chesnut leaves contrasting with the dark conifers. And the stream was as picturesque as usual.
