View attachment 48078 Had a look and took picture of work in progress by no one son who is constructing my new shed. Brilliant idea Char .I was going to have an old motorbike or two in there.Sauna,some Birch twigs,a couple of masseues...........No forget that,Mrs Mervyn has pointed out they would be wasted on me.
went and sat on an aprilia rsv4 factory very nice oh and purchased a new camera ready for some BSB action at oulton park next week and WSBK at donnington at the end of may
And which day did you chaps vote would be summer north of t border, just so' we know, like. Been sunny in Fife today, I presumed that was the Scottish heat wave this year, skinny dipping in the West Sands.
Torn between a place in Carcassonne/Andorra/Perpignan triangle or Cognac/Limoge/Bordeaux triangle so doing a week in each area
Parents had a place near Auch in Gascony - pleasant enough (empty - the Gers is the least populated département in France). Armagnac rather than cognac. You can pretty much stick a pin blindfold into a map of France and you would end up in a nice place. I quite like the Ardèche - amazing roads and a river for rafting. Also a big fan of northern Burgundy - Avalon, around there. Great wine and steaks!
Today I had a pleasant sunday lunch here, Haddock rarebit followed by Hake, and a lemon posset. Nice.
glidd, you're right, lots of lovely places n I'm looking for a nice warm spot to ease the arthritis. Hopefully retire in 5-10 years so possibly looking at a do-er upper with a view to having it done before retirement but swmbo will probably want a palace! Torn between Languedoc and Poitou Charente
Booked a nights stay for my journey from Mougello gp in Lucerne Switzerland Jimvee, Sarlat is very vice

Also a big fan of northern Burgundy - Avalon, around there. Great wine and steaks! Beware of being too close to the Pyrenees. Not that hot once the summer is over. My parents never spent winter in their French home - cold and miserable and wet. For real heat, the Côte d'Azur is a lot warmer, but you need to be in the arrière pays or there are far too many people and it's much too expensive. But it can be a "Christmas dinner on the patio" sort of place. In laws used to live on the Côte d'Azur - I went there often.
Went to the shark enclosure today. There's a little-known but foolproof defence against sharks. Sharks will only attack you if you're wet.
Lucerne is a great town. Quite twinky, very scenic with steamships on the lake. The Swiss transport museum is there - not that I've visited it.
