Vive le velo!

We spent last weekend in Biarritz. I also stayed there at the start of this week. That was nice because the sun was glorious (does a blue sky make one feel better or worse when doing emails inside the house?), but the downside was that we weren’t in Pau when the Tour de France was passing through. The disappointment was doubled when Sandie rang last night to tell me that the Belgian TV programme Vive le Velo had turned up to do 3 days of filming from the stud farm in Gelos! She said it was an impressive affair with big trucks all over the place. They came with a staff of 54 people including 2 full time chefs! I didn’t even have time to think that Sandie was trying to tell me fibs to get me to come back to Pau before one of my Belgian friends who loves his cycling was on email exclaiming that he’d seen the stud farm on TV and that it looked wonderful in the sun! A small world indeed, and yet another opportunity to kick-start my TV career missed….
