End of another hard day. No really. There's a big of dirt in the shadows I moved 'earlier'. Honest! Cheers!
Hike up to Refuge de Larribet. Lots of beautiful crystal clear water. Survived herds of wild animals intact! Phew!
Today's ride: what's wrong with this picture? Answer: not much! Beautiful spin even if a little 'lost' at times
Jolly to Saint Mont for a little degustation du vin today. Lovely area. Thanks to the chauffeur team for driving
Seem to have fixed dodgy screen in my 10yo laptop with electrical tape! To another 10 years? Touch wood & such!
Overnight house guest seems slightly bemused as to why they've been asked to leave
At the dinner table tonight... are we in France or Belgium? Or does it even matter? Cheers!
Few quiet drinks before dinner? Cheers!
On today's ride: little bridge crossing the River Ousse. Still so many little gems like this to discover near home
Stumbled across Indonesian restaurant in Cahors. Someone's very happy! & yes, 2 peeps/3 dishes (+dessert) does go!
Today's ride: Back on cliffs above Saint-Cirq-Lapopie because... why not? Few drops of rain a welcome refreshment!
Look for 'fancy' restaurant in Cahors but v. busy Saturday, so end up in a backstreet bar. Prolly more fun anyhow!
Chemin de Halage: aka. a towpath cut into cliffs along the river Lot. Good idea as it makes for a nice shady walk.
Above the River Lot: a veritable motorway compared to some cliff-edge roads we travelled in Norway so no worries!
Lunch in Saint-Cirq-Lapopie. Beautiful place & v.toasty today so we chose a super shady spot... & the large beer!
Saint-Cirq-Lapopie perched above river Lot. Very impressed by this beautifully preserved (& clean!) medieval village.
Oh look... a beach... and we're nowhere near the coast! Lovely spot by river Lot, Causses du Quercy National Park.
Climb on foot up to Cordes-sur-Ciel was worth it even in today's scorching heat! Beautiful medieval village in Tarn.
You've seen sheep, cattle, etc. in a field squash into the shade of a single tree/hedge, yes? Snails are the same
Second ride of the day: short cool down with Pratiwi, who also tried #HaySurfing for the first time Not bad!
Beautiful sunrise ride to avoid forecast heat. Rolling hills & shady forests actually made for perfect conditions
Hmmmmmmm... Toasty!
1st meal out since you-know-what (over 3 months!). Love random roadside stops... esp when they turn out great!
Shock as guy who shot himself in the foot asks why his foot hurts... https://twitter.com/JimMFelton/s...
Today's ride: Dodging cattle normally no big deal but when herd has young & giant bull present some care required!
Post ride lunch: filet mignon, roasties & one of my favourite beers. Feels like it's my birthday! Nom, nom, nom
Beaut Baronnies ride this morning. Road in the background is typical of the area: nothing straight & nothing flat!
Beautiful day up top Felt knackered when leaving home but much better after this. Wish it was always the way!
When you're invited to socially distant aperos. Cheers! Thanks to the generous hosts - nice to get out a little
Hike Col de Moulata to Hourquette d'Ouscouaou & snowline - ahem - Spectacular views. Picnic. Sunny perfection!
Glorious day to ride the Col d'Aspin. Not much traffic but loads of riders out... and cattle... Moo! :)
1st ride in months earns last (sob!) German beer from our Autumn trip. Cheers! Now about that Franco/German border
Homemade focaccia 'cake'. Yes, bit like a cake as couldn't find correct type of flour. Still tastes great so meh!
Wake up, check weather: Fog. But outside seems sunny. Actually get up & look out other window. Ah - here it comes!
Hello Mr Sunshine! Haven't seen him in days but back in some style (briefly) this evening!
Seems like we are the filling in a cloud sandwich that stretches all the way to Pic de Belchou this morning!
One of our usual walks from home 'in the forest'. You can just about make out our village church on the ridge there.
Ossun-ez-Angles looking in the pink this morning. For a few minutes at least... cloudy now... Booo!
Don't suppose this evening's sunset was too shabby either!
Nice light on our short stroll this evening.
Brief storm this eve will be blocking sunset. Made up for by amazing sunbeams poking through as it passed. Fantastic!
This morning in Astugue w/bonus rainbow! If only we could go out, am sure the pot of gold is just down the hill!
Guess there are worse places to be forced to ride a trainer Easy spin in the sunshine, perfect conditions
Tonight's sunset. Hazy!
Not quite my normal view from a bike But... thanks to FFC & Kinomap just took a spin up Col de la Colombiere
Bit of snow this morning... all gone by lunchtime But what a beautiful walk it made for before then!
Beautiful snowy morning here... best get out quick and enjoy it where it lasts!
Sunset beers after a hard day of, erm, going to supermarket (first time in 3 weeks!) & and taking a short stroll!
Couple of sunset shots this eve, around 25 mins apart. Ever changing views from my 'office' (aka. our dining table).
Licensed to... erm... 'take a brief trip close to home for individual physical activity' Beautiful day for it
