Can you believe it? This year, we’ve had 2 months snowboarding; a month mountain biking; and a fair amount of time wakeboarding, and pretty much we came away unscathed. But the seemingly harmless pursuit of swimming in the sea (ok – the waves were probably 2m tall, forceful, but fun),…
Lovely sunny day here today, so we went out early to get to the lift (2 min cycle ride). I was “giving way” as you should at a roundabout (with a van diddling), and some stupid French woman reversed out of a space into and onto me and the bike.…
We are now in Valloire, and yesterday had a lovely hot day. The photo is from our wild camping position – beautiful and placed perfectly to watch the Tour de France come past on Friday. We went out on the bikes yesterday and had a good ride on a green…
