Finally getting round to knocking the new website into shape. Part of the delay was dues to preparing the Audrey May for its seven year survey. The trip back was windy and rainy thanks to 'Tempete Amelie'. So was very happy to regain the home berth at Castets. Thinking of offering a cycle ride down to Agen for next season

So why put up a picture of old man grinning outside Toulouse railway station? ... because I am leaving after arriving at 11pm the night before 120miles from my starting point at Castets-en-Dorthe. Yes, 192kms in rain and sunshine along the Canal de la Garonne.

Looking forward to the Bordeaux river festival this coming weekend -http://www.bordeaux-fete-le-fleuve.com/ - cycling along the riverfront can get tricky but it makes a great start to a tour and a great way to welcome the summer.

Pour la 9ème fois, Bordeaux Grands Evénements se prépare à célébrer la Garonne et les quais qui lui servent d’écrin.

Over- winter I have to sample all the rural cafes bars and restaurants on my patch (tax deductible research) and by chance I came across this little dive under the railway tracks in La Reole. Saturday night it attracts all the local riff-raff and has the cheapest liquor on sale anywhere. The band was worth a listen too.....

Went to Brigitte's (La Monerie) to pick up the van and had lentils and pork and a long natter that lasted til 4pm. She copes with my Franglais better than most. Hope to dine out with her somewhere soon. Maybe St Macaire.
