Monday 26th August 2019: Arrived this morning in Bozeman, Montana aka Big Sky country. For people here a hunting rifle and fishing rod are an extension of their bodies. Ain’t not veggies knocking about, that’s for sure. Got a lift…

Spring/Summer 2019

Sierre-Zinal and Les Alpinistes 2014

And so……. And so a couple of weeks ago I set off in my trusty steed ‘Jean-Claude’ (not my little Belgian bummer boy) and swept across the Gallic lowlands to nestle atop a perch in that sphere of unpredictability known…
