If I only knew how to thurn, it sounds like it ought to be fun, with consenting adults, at least.

It's too good an opportunity to miss...

That's one we intended to take a few years ago but failed! Will have to come back.

Haven't yet seen a single UK car down here yet... despite it being just as lovely post-Brexit

Le VdJ today:

I excaped to higher up today to try to find sensible temperatures. This is at about 900m asl, though it was still rather warm. It was about 35C by the time I got back down to the valley, which is distinctly warm for cycling.

I'm quite happy with 35c, so long as I am moving!

Saint Julien en Quint this morning, before the heat. Still 31C at 9pm.

Ha, this might be a first... you might not be able to see it, but my bike is in front of two signs for the same place (the other one is in line over my stem)... it's only about 5 houses on a hairpin in the road, so you're in and out in a couple of minutes.

A very literal village sign
