Jan 29th - Feb 6th

Our third, and final, week in our house in tiny Venterol was during "la Froid Grande". We woke up one morning to a large snowfall and Europe went icy. Indeed northern Europe started reporting deaths. We, however, enjoyed daily high temperatures of -3 degrees, so all was well. We headed off for 5 days of slow travel to St Malo to catch an overnight ferry to Old Blighty. Just as we left Olivia emailed to say she and Chloe were heading to France from Barcelona. They were turning up 20 minutes from where we planned to be... so we hope to meet up.
