At least two balls of string, and then even more, including ride details.
As to riding, it just does not get any better. Low sixties, interemittent
light rain, and moderate to very gusty head winds. Rode at half normal
speed.
The first ball of string is the cheese shop. Not a Monty Phython one. Two
pictures included. Locally made including sample. Naturally got the one
pictured for consumption at tonite's picnic at the Gite.
Hard to find accomodations for tonight. This Gite is isolated with no
nearby places to eat; we shopped about 10 km back.
The second ball.
When we arrived found the outside swarming with bees. Asked about it and
"not normal" just started. Turns out a local bee hive (makes honey) escaped.
Pics of the recapture process and for those following on twitter a short
video clip. Nice adventure for us and interesting to watch. Owner not so
pleased.
The Gite is situated next to a stream which runs to the mill (Moulin). Not
far away is the vendor selling honey (of our bee adventure) and bleuet
(blueberries).
Dinner: local cheese, local smoked salmon, local baguette, local fruit,
French Camenbert.
