Hello
everyone,
just to cheer you up its peeing down so
I am housebound today, not a lot of change
since the last letter but our french is
sloooowly improving but our sign language
is getting a lot better. We are gradually
getting the better of the garden and I think
that I am slowly driving the taupes out
as they have started appearing in next doors
garden (tough), we have spent a lot of time
humping (that's french for carrying) logs
into our woodshed to dry out for next winter
as you have to think 2 years in front if
you burn logs, even though we have full
central heating sitting in front of a log
fire with a glass of good red that has cost
us 2 Euros' a bottle takes some beating.
We have just finished decorating and fitting
out a separate apartment with a fully fitted
kitchen and en suite shower that will accommodate
4 people, if anyone fancies a week cycling
in fantastic quiet but very hilly country
we can offer our hospitality exceptionally
cheap just as long as we recover our costs
that is, I have a trailer so I could collect
4 people and their bikes and luggage from
Limoges airport about 40 minutes away, Ryanair
fly daily from East Midlands for around
£65 return and if you are lucky as
low as £5 plus taxes.
The main things that I am missing is daily
newspapers and cafe stops on the club rides
as they never stop except to fill their
bottles its just straight round and home
but its just as social when you are riding
as in the UK with all the same jokes, shouts
for holes or gravel etc but in French and
so far not having to swear at any motorists,
I am going down to Carpentras in July to
ride Ventoux for the 40th anniversary of
Toms death with the Harworth lads and of
course Dave Marsh but I am just getting
back to fitness after almost a month of
with a bad chest infection (dont laugh)
by riding as many hills as I can find, I
bet that you never thought that you would
ever hear me say that but if I am to make
it up Ventoux it has to be done.
We have had visitors from the UK mainly
family virtually every other week and are
going to be the same up to the end of August,
we had our two eldest sons out last week
and they made a massive personal contribution
to our local bottle bank and the profits
of our villge bakery,
The sun has just come out some I am going
to go out on the bike for a couple of hours,
I can get down to the northern parts of
the Dordogne and back in that time then
it will be a quick shower and a beer before
tea.
