Dry and sunny, but windy.
We give the cycling a rest, and walk to Port Grimaud. A very pleasant lunch.
Out German neighbours are packing up to go.
Saturday, 7th April 2018
Sunny with cloud, warm.
Our German neighbours have slipped away before we are up, before it is light even!
We cycle to St Tropez, so, when combined with Kathleen's cycling to church, we have just over 61 miles of walking and cycling this week.
Sunday, 8th April and Monday 9th April 2018
Rain, wind, then more rain, repeated for two days!
Tuesday, 10th April 2018
Heavy overnight rain, but, dry and sunny at breakfast time.
It is a trick! We cycle to St Tropez, and then to the supermarket, eleven miles in total.
As we come out of the supermarket, an "April shower", otherwise known as a torrential downpour, complete with thunder.
We arrive back at the van like two drowned rats, Kathleen claims to be invigorated by it, I think she must be on something!
Wednesday, 11th April 2018 and Thursday 12th April 2018
I thought I may as well just include these two days as one entry. They effectively just merged into one long boring 48 hour period.
Mild, but, heavy cloud, pouring with rain, with interludes of hailstones and thunder, and this goes on, none-stop for two days!
There are enormous puddles of water everywhere.
Fortunately, we have enough essentials (wine, beer, food) to avoid going out.
We are warm and dry in the van of course, but, being cooped up in such close quarters for 48 hours, things are getting dangerous! I have hidden all sharp objects!
Friday, 13th April 2018
Hurray, blue sky, sunshine and 20C.
We cycle to the supermarket to replenish stocks of wine, beer and food.
Having been "trapped" indoors for two days with the weather, we make the most of our "freedom" and spend the day cycling and sitting in the sun.
Saturday, 14th April 2018
Another sunny day.
We have been promising ourselves we will cycle to Coglin, so, off we go.
Coglin appears to be a "real" French town, rather than a tourist place, a little frayed at the edges, but, bustling and with plenty of cafes etc to stop, have a drink and people watch. There is a market going on in the square, nothing spectacular, but, browse worthy.
Coglin also boasts a Lidl and a Le Clerc.
We cycle back via St Tropez, to make a circuit of approximately 12 miles.
Church for Kathleen in the evening, at Port Grimuad, followed by our usual Saturday evening fare, ie Pizza.
