Sharing spare veggies from our garden with neighbours. Just a little as I read too much is not good for them. Awwwww.

Another awesome day on the slopes (despite a bit cloudy to start). And look who's joined in - yay! smile

At last - cycling in Sunshine! Stunning autumn colours have been hiding most of the month but today all was forgiven.

Sunrise double rainbow. Beautiful. Guess this month's constant rain can have some advantages.

October Tourmalet in full summer kit. Amazing conditions but think that's last of the year. Now bring on the snow! grin

Am guessing some of you will be keen to drop by & chat about our recent trip? Especially the German leg? wink Prost! grin

17:48

After 3 weeks away the lawn didn't go too mad, but still hours of mowing! Small bonfire too. Roast snail anyone? wink

Crossing a surprisingly clear river Rhine on today's ride... where the Swiss/German border was also crossed 5 times!

On the shores of Untersee. We were last guests of the season in this campsite & they gifted us the stay! Danke! smile

Another beautiful, yet pretty much deserted camping location by Putterersee in Austria smile
