It’s been three weeks now since I got back from France, having completed a 6-day trek in the Vanoise Alps. This was everything I was expecting and more, and, despite a worrying lack of fitness, made for an immensely enjoyable holiday.
More details in later posts, but for now, here’s a link to the photos (on Picasa Web Albums):

Excellent photos, Paul
Featuring perhaps a female robin, and almost certainly Devils-bit Scabious (Succisa pratensis), probably also to be found in your local meadow – maybe still in flower!
