Yesterday, Thursday 18th, Rosemary had a board meeting to attend with two participants in Australia, two in the UK and the LLW in France; such is business in this technology age.
Ray was sent off on his own to cycle to Ars en Re and back a round trip of 16 miles. Not only was this to be accomplished on a manual bike but on a fairly ropey one which has reminded us that whilst it often seems a good idea to rent rather that take our own bikes, rental bikes are often rather poor quality and not as well maintained as our own bikes. This is indeed the case with our bikes on the Ile de Re but the island is flat with very few hills (OK more like mole hills) but the wind can be quite strong, straight from the Atlantic Ocean and large numbers of recreational cyclists often undertake extraordinary manoeuvres.
Ars en Re was really quiet which is rare and Rosemary’s favourite patisserie had hardly woken up
Mr Google is playing silly games with the blogger software and is suddenly stopping me updating and adding photos via my iPad. Please bear with me I will complete the blog for our Ile de Re trip once I am home on Monday.
