Am enjoying spending the day lazily lying resting my leg. Actually it feels heaps better and we could have risen today but feel like a day off anyway 😊
5 years agoAgree with Suzanne. Don't do any heroics. Take it easy my dear old friend. Kia Kaha!
5 years agoWell that was more excitement than needed. I was about to comment on all the delicious food you'd seen and tasted including the figs.
Envious of that! Let's hope no more floggers!

5 years agoIt has actually been bothering me all the way that tumble today just made it a lot worse. Can’t think of anything nicer than lying on a comfortable bed for the day tomorrow! Sure it will be fine to continue then. Thanks for your concern

So sorry to hear about your injury! I hope it's feeling better by the day after tomorrow. Smart to take a day off! You have already done 1,752 km without a break! Yikes!
5 years agoWe so enjoyed meeting and as I said it gave us hope for the future of the UK. have a great trip and I hope it doesn’t get too bumpy

Don’t give him encouragement!
5 years agoLovely to meet you both. After we saw you we spent a lovely day in Toulouse acclimatising to the French pace of life and the weather. Yesterday we rode to Castelnaudry along the canal du midi; it's actually very well paved for the majority of that section and only deteriorates about 10km out from Castelnaudry, at which point we took the D roads. Enjoy the rest of your fantastic sounding trip!
5 years agoKen is absolutely right. Of course you need the fluids. You must stay hydrated! You made me laugh out loud. How I wish we could beam ourselves in for a few days. We are doing a few days away on the bikes here to soothe my bike touring longing. We are really enjoying your journal.
5 years agoI thought so too but could only eat half of it. Thank you for following us and if you are talking to Judy give her our love - she is on of our favourite people
5 years agoYes I think probably hail and temperature stabilisation here. We have a lot of experience of netting grapes for birds and it is entirely different - the smallest gap a bird can get through. Interesting only the apples are netted peaches etc nothing
5 years agoDid a little internet searching and it seems there are several factors!
Birds, wind, hail protection, temperature/humidity stabilization, improved photosynthesis... Amazing what I learn every day!

I don’t think so. The nets are completely open and crops like grapes are not netted

I’m so sorry to hear about your fall! Hopefully a day’s R&R will be just the ticket to a quick recovery.
5 years agoWhen Rachael reads this though, I’m sure she’ll be envious about what a nice traveling companion you apparently have. I’d have taken a photo before helping you up.
