We’ve had a detour into France to see Martin’s mate Mike, his wife Isobel and daughters Anuik and Tess who live just over the border in Ortafa. They have a small holding with goats, chickens, a horse and a fabulous border collie called Malli. The detour enabled us to avoid an unmanned refuge with no water and no food which was welcome. We had a lovely time with them herding the goats and playing with Malli whose energy was boundless. Mike and the girls brought us back into Spain today to Albanya and we set off in the morning to Macanet de Cabrenys.
