The view from the other side
Yesterday we had a lovely sunny day and decided to do something we had been planning for a while. As you know, we're very fond of the view from our kitchen window and there's a house which captured our imaginations (marked with an arrow in the second photo).
We were curious about the view from their side of the valley, so off we went, found our way there and took some photos:
I marked our own house:
The same angle, using telephoto:
Our building:
The detail, showing our kitchen window (Note the tree where the magpies built their nest):
It was very interesting to see things from "the other side." The walk was very invigorating and quite interesting. When we were about to turn into the main road after our walk, I went to nose around some gardens while Peter and Billy chatted by the turning. A car came along asking for directions and Peter (in his very best French) managed to send the people to me. Imagine my surprise when they asked me how to get to the very same house we had gone to explore!
We still think the view from our side is nicer, but they see more of the village from the other side of the valley.
[All pictures, apart from the third one, may be seen really big. Just click on them.]

Pallottine suggested another guessing competition, after his handsome young self was featured in the post "School Days." Please send me your childhood or school pictures so we can have some fun. People have already started sending them, which tells me Pallottine had a very good idea!

School days
I came across some school pictures and it seems that the more recent photos seem less contrived than the older ones.
Starting with the most recent, our Paul looks very cheeky:
Billy opted for a cheesy smile:
Peter's photo is from the days of sitting at the desk:
As is my sister's, who's roughly the same age as Peter.
Finally, this lad was also photographed at the desk, but his smile tells me his thoughts were far less formal than his pose...
He looks strangely familiar... any guesses?
