I'll take your word for that. Even though I did meet Sherpa Tenzing
on a week end visit to a friend in Surrey. Makes me wish I'd thought
to ask him more searching questions!
Les Baux is wonderful, IMO and I loved it but I really was fascinated
by these darned limpet shells. They were in so many bits of rock,
steps, walls etc.

Hey! But wow! That is one seriously enviable name to be able to drop!
Tell me, I've always wondered how good Tenzing Norgay's English was.
