Today was one of the best and most enjoyable days we have spent in France. It was a magic day spent cycling along the Burgogne Canal taking in the peaceful scenery, various types of barges, cute lock master houses and picking cherries from along the path. We started out from Pont D’Ouche (pronounced Doosh). Of course after a 30km bike ride it really was a case of D’Ouche!

The only non-magical parts were when we got caught in a storm and got saturated. Never realised how hard it is to cycle and hold an umbrella! The other downside of picking cherries is the battles you have do with the stinging nettle growing at the base of the tree. The best cherries were just out of Danny’s reach no matter how high he jumped. 
Thursday 23 June
Did the Circuits Touristiques, a pretty drive through vineyards and little villages.
Marlene and Chris invited us for an aperitif. We had nut wine, almond wine and walnuts. Marlene makes the wine herself and the walnuts are from their own trees. They have three ducks that have adopted Chris as their ‘mum’ and they follow him about and when he runs they follow and start to fly. Very appropriate for an ex-pilot.
