Our Tour de France is almost over. The stand was packed up for the last time last night in the most horrendous conditions you could imagine. The area that surrounds the hall is cobbled - Parisian style. Looks absolutely amazing BUT it was -6 and had been snowing, the cobbles were totally frozen over and it was sheet ice. Breakdown is a manic time anyway, and the ice made it almost impossible. Tony and I just slowed down and took our time, waiting until the mayhem had eased.
We arrived in Brittany in the early hours all safe and sound, although rather tired!
Less of my waffle, you want to know who is going to be going Dotty from this weeks Friday FREEBIE.....
