Two weeks ago we spent a wonderful few days up in the Pyrenees near Font Romeu. I went walking there two years ago with French friends (some of you may remember pictures of the needle through my big toe on that occasion). At that time we noticed a hotel situated high up but on a plateau with flat walking around, and therefore suitable for Jon. So we finally got round to booking in there for a couple of nights and it was gorgeous. It's at over 2000m so the air was crisp but the sun hot. Just lovely. We took a picnic and walked slowly to a nearby lake.

While Jon rested after our picnic I wandered off and saw 3 different species of gentians.

Jon so loved it that he walked further than either of us thought he was able to these days.
The next day we walked about the same distance but along the road this time as the surface of the tracks is quite uneven. Another picnic, this time in a meadow bright with Euphorbias.
