Happy 8th Birthday Khumbu

03 January 2015

Reading time: 3 mins

It’s my 8th birthday today. We are not big on birthday and other commercial holidays in our house, shocking I know, so we don’t really get presents for birthdays or Christmas etc, but we do get extra treats and lots of photos taken. This was my birthday walk, it was cold (for us Southern Spanish softies) and sunny, just some snow would have made it perfect but no chance of that! Warning - this post is quite heavy on photos, for some reason hu’mum wanted every photo to be shown so you can see how hard we work her so that she can get one good group shot or a single shot of us :)

We started our walk by walking up to the Ermita. Today hu'mum decided up was good because the path was icy and yesterday she very nearly fell over BOL
