Lots of brush clearing here recently, some much closer than this large blaze over the valley. #NothingToWorryAbout
Misty morning wandering around the garden for some reason.
Post ride refreshments... cheers!
Morning drive through our little village is photo-worthy today. We're heading down there into the clouds... brrrrr!
A very stormy week here! As I said to Aussie mates... "baby hail" Luckily the snail shrugged it off easily. Phew!
Went out for a little walk and saw this coming up the valley... unsurprisingly got wet on the way home. Doh!
Astugue winter fete... dinner courtesy of the mayor, thank you! Huge paella was delicious. Nom, nom, nom!
Apres-ski refreshments back home. Cheers!
Sunny but cold morning here so went for a run instead of a ride as we are out at lunch later. Happy New Year to all!
Merry Xmas! Wishing everyone a great day whatever you have planned... it's a white one here!
That's a wrap for '25. Wishing everyone the best for '26! Thanks to all who celebrated this festive season with us
Post ride refreshments. Notice the neighbour finally cut their grass - yay! Cheers!
First mow in weeks, but can't bring myself to cut all these 'weeds' the wildlife seems to love. Few weeks in 'em yet!
Mad sunset this evening! #NoFilter
Lawn struggling with heat so not cut in weeks. Wildflowers appeared which our Goldfinches seem to love & I like that!
Double rainbow above home. 20mins later - sky an amazing red colour & Pic du Midi just visible behind the same. Cool!
One of those 'waking up above the clouds' kind of days. Gonna be a good one!
When wife has friends over for lunch so you're banished outside with nowt but leftover dip (& beer). #NoComplaints
February mid-morning stroll. Erm... where's all the weekend snow gone!?!
First and looking like only dusting of snow at home this year. It's been a very warm winter
Nice sunset this evening! End of a great day
Bit frosty for riding this morning so went for a little jog. View to our house from the other side of the valley
It's good to get home from a trip & enjoy our mountain views... erm... #WrongKindOfMountains
Foggy morning with first dusting of snow on the peaks this winter. Looked amazing as the sun broke through!
When a visiting mate loses his drone flying from the house! Bush bashing in steep forests & eventually found it. Yay!
Home sweet home... sunset from the terrace
Chillin' on the terrace after some yardwork. Sometimes we don't even need to wait 'til sunset for a light show here!
Nice sunset this evening!
Sunrise from the front door... let's get out there!
4 hours later...! Yes, takes a while to get the garden half presentable after 3 weeks away & still much more to do!
When a few neighbours decide to drop round for afternoon tea...
Hang on, wasn't it 35C here last week? Now it's snowing at home! Just crazy weather... that will become the norm?
One of those 'waking up above the clouds' kind of days...
When you're outside working on a project then look up and see this...
Happy New Year & cheers from the French Pyrenees! Wishing everyone the best for 2024
On this afternoon's stroll, sun breaking through stormy clouds in a few places. Really beautiful even in the rain
Appero time is a little different when last night's guests didn't quiet finish the bubbly. Well - someone has to!
Very changeable weather here this week. Rain, sun, wind, rain, sun, etc, etc. Then sometimes all at the same time!
When you wake to 20cm of fresh snow at the door: Ski hill next to home tempting, but no, snowshoe instead. Beautiful!
Today's afternoon stroll, few minutes from our front door. Still plenty of autumn beauty here.
Beautiful early morning walk in Astugue. If you know where to look, you can see our house from here
Sunday morning sunrise from the front door. Not a bad effort given last night's festivities! Just beautiful
Crazy sunset after today's rain. Wowser!
Another missed chance to score a pot of gold this morning Oh well, at least we get to enjoy the beautiful view
Another day cycling, sports viewing, yardwork, nerd work/play, enjoying beer & tunes comes to an end. #FeelingBlessed
Snowshoeing practically from our doorstep. We often walk up here, but snow takes things up a notch. So beautiful!
Perfect afternoon for the daily confinement stroll. Saying hello to more friendly neighbours. Moooooo!
Another crappy day in confinement But jokes aside, know we are super lucky to have this stuff in our 1km radius
Nov 2. Shorts & tee weather for daily walk around our home village. Been like this for a few days now - lovely!
Wake up, check weather: Fog. But outside seems sunny. Actually get up & look out other window. Ah - here it comes!
