Its over in 30 seconds!

That's right after one and a half hours of sitting and waiting it was all over in about 30 seconds. Was it worth it? well i suppose it was, just too say i was there but i wouldn't rush to do it again though! What on earth am i waffling on about? Why the Tour de France of course what did you think i was on about? It passed by yesterday at the top of the road about 5 km away. Luscious said that she wanted to go, so off we went at 11:30 to go and watch. Got to the top of the road and parked up and walked to the junction, said hello to our neighbours and sat down on the picnic rug to await the grand event at about 1300hrs. Numerous team cars and motorcycles went wizzing past and at about 13:10hrs a gaggle of cars came into view with sirens going so this was it. I jumped up , got the camera ready to record the event and took 6 pictures one after the other and that was it!! all over and gone! Didn't even get to see the bloke in the yellow jersey!!

At least i was there!!!!! Back home for lunch and a glass of wine i could hardly contain my excitement at such a great event......
