Readers will be aware of my minor travel restriction due to a long term commitment to look after our Grand daughter on a Wednesday. My wife is unable to cope single handed with the bundle of energy that she now is due to hip problems. It was with some delight, therefore, that I discovered today that we shall not be needed on Wed 19th May as our daughter and family will be on holiday in Devon. Hurrah!! By way of a change from cyclists and cycling related piccies here is our Grand daughter in her Christmas outfit, looking as if butter would not melt in the proverbial mouth.
Aaaaah, isn't she sweet! I understand everything now, Peter!
ReplyDeleteIt is looking then as if we might well go on 17 May - am I understanding this right? (but still without wishing to prejudice the decision of the Feb meeting).
Keith, good to see you back from the land of the swine. And now you are ready to enter once again the land of the Frogs!
I have written a letter to all relevant tourist offices, asking about lodgings, publicity and anything else they can help us with.
On the subject of granddaughters, see my blog http://www.clydehinton.blogspot.com/
I wonder, if we say that our ride is to see holy relics in Perigueux cathedral (a beautiful building which I hope you will all see), we can claim that our ride is a pilgrimage and thus ask for sanctuary (ie free board and lodging) in local churches along the route? On the subject of pilgrimages, I've had an idea for 2011: Santiago de Compostela in NW Spain. Any takers?
ReplyDeleteCan anyone help? My last comment was timed at 0233. I can assure you all that I was not up at that time of the night! I sent it, in fact, at 1133, and my laptop said 1033 (heure britannique). What’s going on? Pierre, you set this blog up – it’s all your fault!
ReplyDeleteI thought that to get maximum benefit from a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela you had to crawl there on your hands and knees. Even the hills in Wales were not that steep.
