many thanks for your postcard, most unexpected but much appreciated.
Are you anywhere near the Tour de France route? If you get the chance, do watch it. Don`t blink though, they will be gone by!! We saw it several years ago when it started in England, but I`m sure it`s more exciting actually in France.
Hope you are still enjoying yourselves. Keep your blog posts coming.
Love, Gran
Dad E
Just wondering if you have miss spelt your name Pierre as some of your friends seem to spell it differently!!

OH MY GOD! don't tell me that all this time marrk was actually your dad in disguise mike??? i thought he was just the grumpy french taxi driver, maybe that's how we first met pierre all those years ago? oh mikee i'd be soo jealous if you get to enjoy all the free gifts from the tour de france floats again :( because so far the sun, glitz of st. tropez, roman tour and staying in ritz hotels hasn't made me jealous at all (cough cough!) glad you're still having an awesome time! miss you! xxxxxxxxx oh and don't worry we'll save you some burgers and sausages, we've got enough to last us til millie's 21st party.
Dad E
I thought you went everywhere by taxi Pierre but glad you have dusted off the Penny Farthing. Bit hard on the derryaire though. Your spelling is as good as mine.
Pierre Leconte

Forgot to mention that the tour De France passes nearby in mid July. Narbonne on the 17th. Have a look on the internet to see if that or another day coincides with your travelling Westward.
Dad E
Glad to hear that St Trop (as we call it) is living up to it's reputation. Not sure that Frank Leboeuf falls under celebrity catagory though??. Can't find anything on that other bird (forgotten her name already).
Jumping into water with your wallet in your pocket is such a dumb thing. Can't imagine anyone ever doing that!!!!!
Great party at the B's on Sat night to celebrate H and A's b'days. Lots of drink consumed along with much food. Only one problem. It's burgers at the B's for the next month.
Now girls it time to spill the beans. What's the state of the van after 2 months of the boys being in residence. You can tell us!!!
It's still raining here.

Great to hear the update, sounds as though you are having a wonderful time and it really will be a highlight in the memory banks for when you are in your dotage!
Really exciting match yesterday - only spoiled by the fact that it was played at a place similar to Hunts Farm and with a Force 12 blowing from the Arctic it was a most unpleasant way to spend an afternoon as i was sat outside! Still at least it didn't snow.
Uncharacteristically Russ has been quite a chatterbox about his time on the trip but funnily enough he failed to mention the sea and wallet incident. Cant think why.
Take care and love to you both.
Dad E
Just in case anyone has missed the latest photo's (all 4 of them) they are tagged on the bottom of the German set. Not sure what the item is in photo 3? Any thoughts anyone??
Hope the computer stations in Rome are better than the free ones at Pompeii.
