Francois & Carole Gauffre own La Compagnie Des Fromagers, the specialty cheese shop where they hand select each product from the best producers throughout France. In the direction of Beziers after Montady is a roundabout. Take your third exit and turn into the industrial block, and at the end you will see three wooden cut outs;…
Beziers is growing on me. I didn’t like it throughout the winter, it seemed grey and grungy to me. Then the floral markets started up and the locals emerged from hibernation and the city came alive right before my eyes. Now I only see the old buildings, the charming narrow streets that wind towards the…
The hills are alive with the sound of music! Julie Andrew’s beautiful voice has been going around in my head since our visit to Germany! Our family intended to go forward to Switzerland from Germany, but got some bad news. Alfonz’s grandmother has passed away and we will be travelling back to Hungary for the…

The Aude area in the Languedoc-Rousillon region is still reasonably priced, with small…
Pictures of the bear and cubs, a dear and another animal I’m sure you’ll recognize. The Dempster Highway goes from the Alaska highway up to the arctic circle and here is the beggining of it. Unfortunately we won’t be taking it as it takes 2 days each way, but at least, I got the pic with the…
June 18th the day Alfonz left on his journey was lightly raining and full of anticipation. Geared up and ready to ride, the kids wave goodbye to their daddy as he takes off down the street.
