Back from Le Tour de France (Yorkshire)


Mister E and I are home after our camping venture and yes I even slept comfortably although the lack of washing facilities was offset only by the fact that I didn't take a mirror! I was also very proud of myself for walking to the top of Buttertubs Pass to watch Le Tour at the highest point of Stage 1. Mind the cyclists themselves passed by in a matter of seconds but that was made up for by the camaraderie of the other folk on the roadside and in Hawes both before and after. 



So, not having slept under canvas for some 8 years and generally having tried to avoid walking uphill for the same period, I was delighted to find that I can actually still enjoy both and have also been encouraged to get back on my bicycle. Retirement seems to be getting more active by the day.


Talk about a weekend for inspiration. It's probably as well, however, that we chose to watch the Tour de France and not the Grand Prix at Silverstone; otherwise I might be blogging about my intention to get a fast car and live life on the edge!
