Bask For All: Part Two
Welcome back to my musings on the beautiful area of the Basque country in northern Spain. The long wait is finally over to hear all about “the most accessible hotel I’ve ever stayed in”.

I’ve finally found an hour to write a blog post for you all. Apologies it’s been so long. I’m currently musing as Kasia watches a movie on her Amazon Fire, while we bob along in our Pont Aven cabin (with Brittany Ferries) from Plymouth to Santander. We’re heading to mainland Europe for some projects on… Continue Reading
