February 2025
The Pyrenees haven't had a huge amount of snow this season, but the ski resorts are just about managing. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the Prat d'Albis for a walk in the snow - lovely!
We also had a drive out to a fishing lake that Dave wanted to explore for possible fishing trips. It was a beautiful drive and a lovely spot for a picnic.
The ground at La Maire is gradually drying out so we have been able to cut the grass which is growing again in the warmer temperatures.

January 2025
A misty cold morning over St Victor Rouzaud in the photo above. We have had a lot of days like this in January - cold nights but then some sunshine which has felt quite warm at times. We have also had some heavy rain at times so the ground underfoot is very soggy.
We have enjoyed a few social events this month as well as our regular activites.
We realised today that we didnt have many photos this month so I have taken a few today of the garden in winter - all in the album here

October 2024
The blog is a little late this month as we have just returned from a trip to England to see the family.
Dave came home from hospital on 3rd of October and after some time to recuperate we made the most of the weather and enjoyed a walk in the mountains as well as catching up with friends and neighbours.
We had a couple of days of non stop torrential rain in the middle of October, but apart from that it has been sunny and really very warm for this time of year., The grass is still growing fast!!
Here are our photos for October

September 2024
We have had a lot of rain in September - but not as much as the UK!! We don't remember have seen the Ariege so green at this time of year. The grass is growing like it does in the Spring and everything looks very lush. We have had some clear and sunny days as well which have been lovely.
We went back to England for a short visit before Dave went into hospital last week for his scheduled operation to remove the troublesome appendix. Unfortunately they found further
infection so he has had to stay in for another week! He should be home before the weekend
