 To Lavadieu... rumours of ancient stone carvings and the like. Celtic paths, yup, and a spring - lovely. But any carvings are up on the cliff and electric fenced off for the cattle and horses and anyway beyond me. Got sunburnt, drew, took lots of photos. Gracie came too and we finalised the Saints in Paint book, so its all up to her now. Wipes hands briskly.

Found this mysterious carving on the paved path to the spring, among plates of old stones arranged at the edges - never seen one like this before. Our hosts had never seen it before! Rather disappointed though, had hoped to find the Boudet-noted stash and to be able to see them at night. In the event, night was v dark and v cold and there were no suitable stones. Done some drawing that maybe OK, haven't checked since I got home. Knackered. Unaccustomed exercise and fresh air and spell-binding surroundings. Lots to think about.

Waiting on Bernards tests, results tomorrow will show if the treatment is effective. Also waiting for tomorrow to see if Cen will be able to get some of his pictures here. Candle-lighting time.
