Visiting Tim & Jenny

 A trip up to the North East this wek. I visited Sujatin's group in Newcastle, seeing her and Colin, and also had a chance to see Tim, Jenny and Sonna (here in Tim's house) 

Walnut harvest

 
Returning to Amida France, we have a few days to catch up on emails and to harvest walnuts (3 big tubs) and collect woods for the winter. 

Walking in the mountains

 The weather was not always at its sunniest but the views were still spectacular as here, at Oo (yes that's not a typo, it really is spelt Oo)The lake was a good climb up and we went on to a higher lake above - well over 2000ft in total. 

camping in the pyrenees

  on our way to Barcelona, we enjoyed a quiet few days camping in the Pyrenees and walking in the mountains. We had four days in an areas known as les Baronnais, a little south east of Lourdes, then moved on to Luchon, a spa town in the next valley. A very nice rest 

Eurpean Buddhist Union Meeting

 This took place at Sakya Tashi Ling, a wonderful and very impressive Tibetan Monestary near Barcelona
