Warm, blustery and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

I did not sleep well. Hey ho. But I have had a productive morning spent writing and doing some extra research for that. Yes, I know that I'm very familiar with the environment in which my story is set, but it's all about getting the fine details right without descending into nerd territory.

I've also been following the news. I think I might now actually *be* the Minister for Marmalade. Should I be expecting my red box by the morning? And will orange & cardamom be too controversial?

Anyways, it is time for luncheon.

There aren't any French riders in the Movistar team. They had a Colombian, Quintana, though. He's pretty small. Now at Arkéa-Samsic.

You only fall asleep for two seconds at a time!

We’ve been out to the jam lady’s cottage at Cowgrove. Five assorted jams and chutneys plus half a dozen free range eggs. Stopped at the small independent bakers in Wimborne on the way back, they use wood fired ovens and the bread and cakes are divine.
I took the leccy Brommie, used assist level one. Jumped back on after deciding on which jams / chutneys to choose and started cycling back towards home. It took me a couple of minutes before I realised the bike has an automatic shut off if it’s not moved for five minutes. I decided to cycle home without any assist and was happy to see average speed was the same both going out and coming back. Also discovered that the small front pocket on the battery bag can take at least two cheese scones 👍😎
