I thought yesterday daytime that maybe the weather had been kind to us, however, there was a huge thunderstorm yesterday evening so we ate at the Hotel we were staying in, I’d like to say it was great however, the menu left a lot to be desired, for starter you could have Fish, fish or fish! The main course was Fish or Veal and desert was Cherry Clafoutis or Cherry Clafoutis, strangely I opted for fish, fish and the Cherry! The Street Party outside of our rooms was noisy ( as you would expect) so sleeping wasn’t really an option, which was a great shame as I feel exhausted 😴.
Breakfast was a challenge Tea – Non, Eggs & toast – Non, cereal -Non, plain yogurt & fruit – possible, croissant 🥐 & coffee – Oui 👍
Well after 3 hrs sleep 😴 & very little to eat, we faced 60 miles and our first real climb 😢🚴♀️👍 Col de Guery
Digging deep today springs to mind with all this rain and so far only 1 day of sunshine. France in June, weather is beautiful, yes course it is, pull the other one 🌧️😊🚴♀️👍 so I’ve really had to focus on the end target. We all have bad days mentally and getting thru them makes you stronger. 👊 although at the time it can seem endless.
I’m now off for a sports massage, I need trial separation between my ears & shoulders – they’ve been together for days, so I’m not sure how they will get along 🤣🤣🚴♀️
a bientôt xx
Of course it wouldn’t be right without the rain lashing down, it duly obliged & it was torrential, I was slow going up in such bad conditions & very nervous on the decent with so much surface water, but I’m proud to say I did it 😊.

Just catching up on the past few days....a little behind.
Firstly I think you choose the wrong food at the hotel...as an alternative...I would have opted for the fish, fish and the cherry 🤣 what a strange menu!
Oh the weather you've had. We both picked the wrong dates to leave the UK. Hopefully the weather improves for you along the sleep and food. A much begged breakfast is needed
Hope you like Fish, Wendy. Sounds like you were either eating them or swimming with them.
Enjoy the rest of what sounds like a fantastic adventure. Lots of Brownie points being collected
I think you should have packed your armbands!
Well done Wendy, we're all enjoying your daily blog. Hope the weather improves soon
