Lucky or what ?

I completely misjudged how long my ride would take this afternoon and found myself riding home on the road from Cahors to my place in rapidly diminishing light, i.e. it was getting bloody dark. Worse still l have no lights on this particular bike. Got off the bike , quite a few cars passed me then one stopped in front, hazard lights on and a rather nice lady got out and offered me a lift. Stuck the bike in the boot and off we went. She gave me her phone number and we arranged to meet for a bike ride together Only in France eh!

That's the norm

Not sure if this is an update or just an on going game but l got a text to say that she was in school (teaching) and would call me later but no call so far tonight. Don't you just love the suspense

I'm imagining woodbutcher, dressed in tweed plus fours. Polishing a vintage steel beauty. Simultaneously, waxing the ends of his moustache. Practicing his finest, "Ding Dong young lady" into a distressed vintage mirror, propped nonchalantly in his workshop.
