After only 10 or so hours hard labour, I've managed to put this slide show together !

Since I arrived in France I've been doing "nordic walking" once a week. http://walking.about.com/od/nordicwalking/ss/nordicwalking.htm

There are usually 10 or so of us...all french cept hubby and I, lead by an extremely enthusiastic french intructrice clad in very tight lycra, which on her looks quite flattering, in fact the male member ship is on the up and up!

She leads us on 1 1/2 hr walks around the countryside , bracketed by total body stretching regime in the teeny departure villages, hail, rain or in this case snow.

It's a serious work out, great fun and the scenery is glorious.
