Ziegler's BACKloft... in the Black Forest. Oh... if we must...

Rothenburg ob der Tauber in the rain... still a lovely place but let's find somewhere warm to eat and drink!

We accidentally find ourselves in Munich, in October. Oops! Beer, best pork knuckle ever & other treats. Prost!

Durrensee: Passed this nice little lake on the way down the valley. Love stumbling across this kind of thing

Cortina d'Ampezzo, what a beautiful place. Would love to ski from here one day, although it does feel very A-list!

Pre-dinner drinks by Lake Maggiore. I guess there are worse places to sip beer & watch the sunset...

When friends with silly sunnies come to visit... Enjoying glass of wine & couple of pintxos at the local market.

Summer in France just isn't complete without a little messing about in a field of sunflowers!

Little jaunt to Spain. First call? Straight to one of our favourite tapas bars for an afternoon snack. Nom, nom!

The old town of San Sebastian isn't big, but still... one needs to take a break & rest once in a while Cheers!

Parisien coffee stop. Coffee? Blergh! But at least you can't go wrong with the accompaniment in a patisserie

Dinner in Yaai Thai. Nom, nom, nom!

Paw-sing for a quick paw-trait. Love the bear-et but need a shave - in summer this bear-d is un-bear-able!

Today's stroll, only 10 mins from home, Courades de Bazust. Nice to be back doing close to 'proper' hiking

Normal programming will resume shortly But after 3 months off even trundle to next village with Pratiwi not easy!

Wondering above the Col des Palomieres. Not been for a while & good to be back! Awesome autumn day doesn't hurt!

Neighbour has vicious new guard dog. Almost lost a limb today & thankful that gate is there! Soooooooooooo Cute

Snowshoeing at Payolle. Fabulous day. Am not convinced odd footwear was required but it made things entertaining

XC Skiing at Payolle. Thank you Claire, our very patient guide, for showing the way. What a perfect day for it!

Pratiwi didn't want to go for a short stroll today, but after being talking into it, turns out it was fun!

Patisserie didn't have the cake we wanted (it's not strawberry season). Oh well, will have to pick something else!

Little stream near at Pont d'Espagne. Half frozen there's a tiny waterfall created by the ice here. Cool!

Late afternoon Autumnal stroll. Saw a pheasant up here & chased him out of the bracken when he hid in there. Cool!

Random hike up a nearby hill: Plateau d'Esquiou. Pratiwi said was a bit steep near the top. But it's a plateau!
