Sun, sea, cycling and scallops

Last week I took a little trip on the Eurostar to meet my Dad and the bike4good team at the end of their London-Paris in 24 hours epic. As good an excuse as any, I reasoned, to do a bit of shopping, visit my favourite Parisian spots, and head down to Pau to see Kim for a few days. The weather was a beaut, copious amounts of wine were drunk, and many artsy photos with my Dad’s fancy camera were taken…

Meeting the cyclists. Final total raised £220,000 for Duchenne Children’s Trust, incredible! Not too late to sponsor, just go to bike4good.com
