Sunday was very windy and very cloudy with another red alert from France Meteo – a massive contrast to Saturday’s glorious weather. As a result there was no Sunday ride and no walking. We decided instead to spend the day in front of a screen working on a couple of new projects. Bensons Restaurant in Stratford is having a revamp so we are doing a new website. We also got ahead with invoices, checked all client sites and wrote a few blogs. Sometimes it’s good to have a day like this and keep on top of all the admin. I also finished the annual accounts and got them sent off to the accountant. Exciting stuff eh?

Today, Monday, has brought a return to fair weather. Well, stunning weather really. It’s very hot, very sunny and very calm. We did a long walk this morning from our old base from last year and wandered through the lanes to Tourbes, where we stopped for coffee. Back at the car parked near Coteau Moliere we had more refreshment and then did a quick shop before heading back to the villa.

Lunch by the pool was interesting as we spotted a small snake taking a dip! We rescued it using the pool net and sent it on its way.

The problem now is what to do with the afternoon – work, cycle, chill by the pool or drive to the beach. Decisions, decisions!!!
