Amazing Grace

'Amazing Grace' played on the Breton Pipes for His Lordship and me at the Semaine Pique-nique in St Sebastien-sur-Loire, just because we are fellow Celts.

The picnic is a special accueil in a huge area with lots of entertainment for all the cyclists, and usually included in a cycle run that is not too long- 35 miles today.
We sat under a tree and ate our baguette with cheese and tomatoes carefully sliced with the knife in HL's trusty Leatherman tool- it makes him feel like an intrepid back woodsman, the 'him Tarzan, me Jane' effect.

With 5 days cycling under our belts, we are having tomorrow off the saddle to have a look round Nantes itself. So far we have avoided the city, the rides being routed round the outskirts.

However tonight we are eating with the cyclists in the Permanence. We have never done this before, so it should be interesting but very noisy.
