Luchon 30 April

Luchon, more properly Bagnères-de-Luchon, is a town in the Pyrénées, beyond Toulouse and beyond St Gaudens, of which you will read more soon. I spent a day up there with Warwick’s friend, Sarah and her sister, Elizabeth. Elizabeth has given me specific permission to say that she trains vicars. Yes, really! At a kind of ‘vicar school’. In Bristol. An Auckland girl! Anyway, we took a train for a couple of hours up to Luchon, walked up to a little village beyond, ate our lunch, came down again and caught the train back. The photos tell the story.

There are a number of ways of viewing pictures in Picasaweb – have a play around. If you are watching the slideshow, you may have to press ‘hide captions ’twice to make them visible. If you have the thumbnails on the screen, you will have to hover to see the whole caption. From “View Album” you can double-click on a photo and bring up arrows that allow you to follow both the photo sequence and the captions.

There are 4 very similar video sequences which will bore most of you but be just the story for one or two. Just move on to the next picture and the video will go away.

Time to escape to the mountains! Know that there is more snow there now, as this week has been cold and the mountains have a lovely new coating.
