09 July 2010 Friday

At breakfast i get to meet 'The Bennetts' Graham & Karen. They had been trying to contact me last night to meet up for dinner,but couldn't get hold of my mobile number.

I check out the weather in the paper and it says sunshine all day...but how wrong can it be, as we finish breakfast we hear the pitter patter of raindrops on the roof.

I head off,deciding not to don my waterproofs as the rain isn't too heavy.


The rain comes and goes but gets quite heavy at times.


I arrive at Liz and Ians , about 12.30pm and add my bike to the queue.
The rain stops shortly after I arrive and by a couple of hours later it is very hot and sunny.


Gradually over the course of the afternoon,more and more bikers arrive. Each one looking more and more hot & sweaty. Quit a few have travelled over from the UK today and ridden 300 miles in scorchio heat.



The afternoon and evening are spent chatting and enjoying french beer and wine in the  Bar du Jardin

Anna  & Mark



 


Not a sight you see very often...a bike riding past a sofa!


Liz put on an amazing spead of food for the evening


Hungry bikers!

The gathering continues late into the night-lit by candles & lanterns


Howard & Ian...seperated at birth??
