great and harrowing story, but tell us what chrono you were wearing while this was happening?? I mean, what's a story like that without a good chrono playing a role?? hopefully something sturdy . . . 5100-powered, perhaps??

we are all happy that you survived this one.

: Nice shots guys. Having just gotten back from
: Northern France they haven't made me feel
: too bad.

: This shot was taken from the pool terrace of a
: villa we hired in Javier - Spain. The
: holiday was a bit of a nightmare as our
: original villa was farmhouse up in the
: hills. Just me, my wife and Jack who was 10
: months. On the second night I woke up to
: find 2 guys trying to jemmy one of the
: windows open.

: So Farmhouse, middle of no-where, foreign
: country wife and child + burglars who new we
: were at home.

: I took the antique pick axe off the wall and
: let them know that coming through the window
: meant 'death' at the very least.

: So after a night sitting on the stairs guarding
: my charges the rep moved us in to town were
: we given this place with this amazing view.

: I would like to say breakfast and dinner on
: that terrace every day made up for the
: burglars but I still shudder now when I see
: this view which is a shame as it is a
: stunner.
