Away from home

Merv has been in the Pyrénées for two weeks helping run a RAID cycle trip with Marmot Tours. Followed by a week's walking trip based in Ax-les-Thermes. Jane's been in London for a week catching up with friends and work colleagues and generally having a frantic city socialising time. Spent a morning doing a walk to see the Olympic Park venues. The athletic stadium and other arena's look great, especially the aquatic centre, and it was interesting to get all the background to the development. 

Now back and busy with renovating another room for family and friends to stay in some comfort. We've got a steady stream of visitors coming from now until the end of October so the pressure is on to get it finished. Will post further updates as we get the time between painting the ceiling, putting up lining paper, painting and sorting out furniture before friends arrive on 3 October. During which time we'll already have had two lots of family to stay and Merv will be in Italy leading a walking trip in Tuscany. C'est la vie.
