French Retreat

Last week I got to bask in some French sunshine during a family holiday. My sister arranged to hire a beautiful farmhouse ('Le Pible') in the tiny village of Montignac le Coq. The house and grounds were fantastic and the perfect place to enjoy a bit of sunshine and tranquility.

It's not often you get to take a dip in your own private pool, then climb out and pick fresh figs from the tree for a post-swim snack, while dripping off in the sunshine.

Little Oscar was there to entertain us all with his new crawling skills and to ride 'elephant style' on his Auntie Lucy's back.

I also got to do some great morning runs through the sunflower fields. The hill-training will be very good preparation for the Dam tot Damloop, which I'm running on Sunday!
