Thank you Margaret. I used to be really surprised by all the people I met who said they’d been coming here for 20/30/40 years but now I know why. I’m so lucky to have discovered Thollon and I hope to enjoy it for a while longer. Whatever happens in the future, it’s a place that will always be in our hearts. I’m glad that you still feel a connection and I hope you’ll continue to follow my stories and enjoy the photos. (Let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to rediscover for you)

Your wonderful photographs and entertaining stories have cheered us up over the winter, especially since Christmas when it has been so cold we haven’t ventured out much. Four years ago we sold our apartment in Thollon after enjoying holidays there for nearly 30 years. It goes without saying that we still miss it for all the reasons you give for enjoying your new life there. Age and the journey from Scotland were the main reasons for selling but it’s nice to imagine being there through your photographs. Thank you so much Lindsay.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such lovely comments, Liz. You’re right, Thollon is such a special place, a hidden gem. There’s certainly plenty of inspiration here as there’s so much to see and do. It’s true what they say, nature is definitely the best therapy.πŸ˜ƒ Let’s hope you’re back in the very near future.

We have really enjoyed reading them during the pandemic. We are missing Thollon very much and your writing is bringing us much pleasure and enjoyment. And some great ideas for when we can next return, whenever that may be! It really is a paradise on earth (we think). It’s great that you have a new website. Thank you and good luck with your new venture.

I hope this helps to keep the mountains, the lake, and this stunning scenery alive for you until you come back. Fingers crossed that won't be too long. βœˆπŸ”πŸ›€β˜ƒ]]> In reply to Jane Wilkinson.

Hello Jane, thanks so much for your feedback about the new website. It’s all trial and error at the moment so nice to hear that you’re finding your way around it πŸ’™

I love your style and humour, it has most definitely given me a much needed feel for life in the mountains whilst I can’t be there.
Great that your have your own website now, Love it, eye catching and well set out!
