I sleep extremely well,not actually waking up until 11am! Just as well I had decided to stay on an extra night,so that we could all go out for a ride today!
Sara is working in the morning, but James makes himself busy by checking over all the bikes,including mine-what a star.
We are going to ride to Bagnoles de l’Orne about 40 miles north. This is a spa town so we pack our cossies just in case we fancy a dip in the therapeutic waters.
The ride takes us along some lovely twisty roads but it is not as enjoyable as it should be as the road has just been gritted,with miles of ‘gravillon’ patches. My bike slips a couple of times so I slow right down to 35-40 , which means I am overtaken by a lorry who has places to go!
We arrive at the town and head to the Spa, but it seems you can only use the pool if you book treatments and as these start at 70 euros its a no-go

I find this stinger caught in my bike-I’,m so glad it didn’t hit me in the face-its a big bugger!
We ride back to the centre of the town,park the bikes and wander to look at the boating lake and buy an ice cream.
Sara & James share a kiss in front of the boating lake
We find a shop selling ice-cream outside the front with a huge selection of flavours.
The bright blue one catches my eye-Schtroumpf!
I ask what this is & both Sara & the lady seller say ’Smurf! !
Smurf ice cream I’ve never heard of such a thing!! I’m going to have to have one of these, especially when I’m told its almond flavour and for good measure I also opt for a scoop of caramel.
