Buff and Poppy come to Vaulnaveys-le-Bas

In contrast to the heavy-duty words in my last post here's a visual record of Buff and Poppy's short and sweet visit, last week. There were tears (Buff wasn't happy about the flying fox at Laffrey air park) but overall it was a lovely, happy couple of days...

Piling on the winter clothes for the first (chilly) evening, toughing it out on the terrace

We all got very over-excited playing “Timba!”

Lac Laffrey in balmy sun – but not hot enough to swim

Buff made sure we didn’t get into the mountains – by only bringing sandals. But I got her to walk half a kilometre – to a restaurant.

My favourite local restaurant, La Basse Cour, by Lac Laffrey

Laffrey air park, last visited with Olly and Poppy in 2008 and some of us showed our age -
while blithe 4-year-olds put us to shame...

The final flying fox was a bridge too far for Buff, but definitely to do again for me

My ancient Monopoly board got an airing and Poppy revealed new talents, beating Buff and me, hands down
