Another miserable day in the Salat valley

It is such a shame the weather has not been so good for Iain’s visit. Today we collected Iain from the Auberge a little later after a quick check on emails and responding to some enquiries for Ski Breezy. We also made up a bed in the main barn as Iain is staying up with us for his last night. Headed up towards the Cirque de Cagateille to see a different area. It has suck a different feel to it than the Salat valley with open fields and far more agriculture. Stopped for a coffee at Gite L’Escolan before heading on up to Guzet Neige. As we got there a gap appeared in the clouds which gave us a view, although limited it was nice to see further than 200m. Iain and I sat in the front of the van and were fed pate and cheese on bread by Breezy in the back. After lunch we headed back to Salau and on up to the barn where the weather had improved enough to sit on the terrace and have a mug of tea.

A drink of fizz and a few hands of cards before lamb and salad for supper. Went to bed with a clear starry sky.
