Thank you H
well I am tucked up safe in my hotel room waiting for a storm to pass - it might not.
but yesterday's ordeal was interesting. I probably pushed and carried my bike 10 miles before I could reach a hotel so I could get a taxi - the most expensive ever.
anyhow it seemed ample punishment for whatever I deserve. all I could do was think of Lucy and use the pain I am feeling to press on. it wasn't healthy.
but then I summoned from somewhere a thought of a friend, and inspiration. shortly after I met she was hiking in the himalayas. she got split up from her travelling buddy and in poor weather had a mishap - let's just say her backpack disappeared over the side but most thankfully she did not. well I thought yesterday of the situation she comes with, how calm and strong she is, and it gave me enormous strength, positive healthy energy.
my bike is fixed and with extra spare. just need to see if the storm lifts. I am not going to make to mont st Michel, for which I am sad. I could try but it would be a crazy attempt and one near miss is enough.
either way, I owe you all some pictures, maybe later
