Hi everyone!

Hello, bonsoir!!!

finally stopped for long enough to find internet access! Just a quick run down of what we have been up to and a few pics. Having trouble finding internet connections, apologies for lack of blog entries!

21st-30th August stayed in Lacour de Visa in Midi Pyranees with Deb, Kevin, Tom and Sam. Lazy days (and a couple of very hot ones - 36 degrees)

30th Aug - 2nd Sept stayed in a lovely "Campsite Municipal" in Condom (yes I know) - again lazy days, bike riding and enjoying less intense sunny days.

2nd - 3rd Sept -Lourdes. Don't know what to say about this one! An experience! Extremes, very strange.

3rd Sept to present - Carcassonne, nearly on the coast! Beautiful, fortified medieval city, lovely campsite.

Have not been reading newspapers from home and can never seem to find fequency for world service so am totally in the dark when it comes to what has been going on in Uk, think we may need to buy a tv for van sometime soon!

Will let u look at pictures now!
Missing everyone, days are just going so fast! Need to get down to some school work with James, emails very welcome!

Aurevior!

Catherine, Ian, James and Tilly x

beautiful church - beautiful place but slightly disturbing, and quite a contrast between the place of religious pilgramige and the tackier aspects
