From 2007...

I spent a lot of today catching up on Greek homework, and then went to meet Eben and take him to his after-school swimming lesson.
None of this left me in a frame of mind to take new photos, and so I've pulled another one out of the CD archives. Virtual travel is pretty attractive on a chilly February day :>)
This is from a visit that Richard and I made to the Cevennes, in France, in 2007.  It's an area of dramatic limestone ridges and conical hills, with a rich history.  It's pretty wild in parts and was a place of refuge for Jews fleeing the Nazis in WW2, and for French resistance members.  A family we stayed with there, who ran a small bed and breakfast business, described personal accounts of this, passed on by older family members.  At one end can be found the Larzac plateau, which I wrote about in a recent blip here:

A small image file, and not the best quality, but definitely a source of good memories.
Otherwise... still no movement towards a ceasefire, in Gaza, from the Israeli government. The suggestions on the table today have all been rejected by Netenyahu. How much more destruction can one small area, and one traumatised population, endure?
