Pelerins for a day


On another level, each time we return here, we seem to go a bit deeper into day to day life. On Monday, which is a notoriously slow day in France, we (ie RDK), decided to go for a walk in the nearby country . We duly completed a round trip following a GR route out from Cordes and back and finishing with a climb to the square of Cordes sur Ciel, around 18 kms in all. It was a rather warm day but we managed to find shelter under trees and enjoyed a picnic lunch by the river. During a drink at a local bar we had a chat with a couple of old guys part of a peloton on one of their 3 weekly bike rides. Very fit lads and into their 70’s probably. A match for Cadel if current tour of Spain results are any indication.

Hi kiddos
good to see you two 'on top of the world' and enjoying rural France again! Local Belconne Magpies are the premiers :-) The other Pies face elimination against Geelong on Saturday night.
Floriade is underway and the birds are singing.
Best regards
Lynton

My understanding is that whilst the magpies of Belconnen might be happy, a fair proportion of the people in the Riviera are today in mourning for the real Magpies. I shall recover some way today and then get ready for 2010.
