Mon Dieu it's hot !

It has been warm for over a week now.  The days start a little misty then mid morning the sun burns away the mist and we are treated to glorious clear blue skies and temperatures around 25 to 27 degrees centigrade.  Its a lot different than Scotland that's for sure!

We are definitely getting our 'cycling legs' now and think nothing of 30 miles a day.  The Brompton folding bikes are the perfect way to sight see.  The roads are a delight to ride on (and drive on).

France really is a beautiful country, particularly here in the Loire valley.  Everywhere we go there are pretty little villages, magnificent chateaux, vineyards and apple trees, maize fields and so on.

The van is also perfect for travelling (just as well !) And so far we have stayed on 'Aires' or chateau carparks, all for free!

Most of the Aires have service points where we can fill up with water and empty the toilet (it's gotta be done!).

That'll do for now, to be honest we're having such fun that 'blogging' tends to take a backseat.

Bonsoir !
