But I was very pleased the other day when one of my contacts started a Breton horses group and asked me to join, as I'd looked for one before and not found one.<BR/><BR/>I might put in an RLS tagged photo for you to find me!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10215844.post-22576517540001056512009-01-31T11:33:00.000+01:002009-01-31T11:33:00.000+01:00No, I didn't keep a diary, Lesley.

As well as the massive tropical vegetation everything was stunning, not least the men in sarongs(?) waiting on the quay.<BR/>While wandering about I walked past Stevenson's house but didn't go and visit his grave. <BR/>Later I overheard an American woman complaining that there was no lift to get up there and that one should be built ... I remember my heart sinking!<BR/><BR/>I do hope Notre vie Juteuse will read Travels with a donkey, it is very funny.
