Du Broulliard today as we leave Sarlat. Starts a whole load of nonsense in my head . Mr Whitton my French teacher and Whitmarsh book 4 . All the verbs were at the back and we all had to learn the next days verb … he would enter the class room door with one word
Whoever he pointed to had to compose a sentence in the present tense and so on until we all been pointed too in several tenses . He was a strict teacher but gave me the confidence to have a go , often misplaced too . I still think I’m fluent just a bit rusty
Really lovely cycling though today . Ceri’s bicycle purring along like a new machine . De rigeuer coffee stop and gentle cycling by the Dordogne. The sun comes out and we have lunch next to a now customary church . A swim has to follow in the oh so picturesque Dordogne. I put on extra lube as I know there is a stonking 4km hill . Ceri keeps out of the way as I weave up the hill . Out of Dordogne now and in Quercy . Looking forward to our mini break chez my Irish rellies Heather and Alan
Ceri here: Neil is amazing. That was a tough 4km hill and he didn’t stop once!
