The Tour de France

The Tour is passing close by here today - about 10 miles away at the closest. We debated long and hard about going to see it but in the end we decided not to. They are not coming down out of the mountains here (some years they do) which means there is a single road in and out. You need to drive up there around 6am to get there before the road closed and then cannot get back down for something like 12 hours, we decided it was going to be too long a day, particularly with a tetchy and overtired puppy. We are hoping they will come down out the mountains here next year and it will be easier to go and watch. Also hoping the puppy will be a well balanced dog by then not a tetchy puppy.

We also failed to go out and celebrate the 14th of July because we went to bed knackered after getting up at the crack of dawn to wrestle with the puppy. What wimps!
