What's that smell ?

Well there has been a summer feel in the air and the weather has pretty much backed that feeling up. We have enjoyed a couple of weeks in between 25 and 32 degrees in the shade, needless to say we have taken advantage of this time by getting out on the bikes and enjoying the heat.

We had time to visit some new friends who live over the other side of Uzerche, Vannessa & Chris and closer to Pompadour is Linda & Ian both are keen bikers. I took a ride over to "The Wishing Well" near Uzerche again this is our closest rival Bikers B&B which we can now confirm is closed fro business as it has changed hands and the new owners are not going to continue as a B&B, Lorna & Shaun kindly allowed me to post an advert on their barn door and took some cards incase they were visited by bikers llooking for a nights kip.

Kay and Mark are still over and we enjoyed an evening in Treignac with the locals, Natalie is singing and Ricky (Kays son) brought along Ralph and Ellie who enjoyed some of the sports around the fountain in the square.





Wendy and I rode down.

Mark and I spent an afternoon digging up a sewrage overflow pipe down the side of his barn which was broken and venting into the air (Not nice if left). The more we excavated the more broken pipe was found so in the end we dug the whle section up and rplaced it and even put a rodding pipe in place just incase we needed it int the future.





Finally Mark gets to create his petanque court which is just to the front of his Barn - I watch him of course... Foolishly we have challenged the locals to a tournement...
