Yes, another day with the golden ball up in the sky and temperatures nearing the 30 C mark. After a hard day in the woods and garden at Tom's on Tuesday we took ourselves off for the day yestrday on the motorbikes, not a long run, but about sixty miles. Stopped off for "bacon butties" an a nearby cafe, very nice and not usually available around this area. Did a bit of sight seeing stopping off at a couple of eally nice old villages. Should have photos but downloading is a real pain here. Met some teams of Gendarmerie out on a training exercise from a nearby Police college, they had to abseil down a cliff, send a swimmer over a river and rig up a "death slide" to get the team across the river . Very good, and further along the road a team of Pompieres were doing the same thing.
Tom dropped his prized hat in the river and after much messing about we summoned the help of a passing canoeist who fished it out the reeds and returned it.
Lots of restaurants around the area so we have been trying them out, some better than other, and certainly varying standards of "haute cuisine".
Boys are off shooting today, me, a day off chilling here at the house and looking after the dog.
