Training going well, all paddling and although slots are hectic the team are just refreshing and re familiarising themselves. Yesterday had a quiet day, being Sunday and after our session at 2.30pm got our accreditation and home for a BBQ dinner. All except Callum went into the town to meet up with the Swiss juniors for some socialising - have been trying to foster this so they meet athletes from other countries.
Today our training was at 8.30am and then Kidda, Haven , the three girls and I drove for about 30 minutes to a small town called Mirepoix. Very cute, old medieval , with a market this morning. Sat at a cafe and had lunch and all really enjoyed it. The other boys watched the German and French paddlers and wandered back about 1pm after buying lots of baguettes.
Home from Mirepoix about 2pm and chill out/sleep time for kids -food gathering and cooking for me. About 6pm the Swiss juniors came for a swim and then when they left we had dinner in our garden and I asked our hosts Andy and Corrine to join us. I use their oven upstairs as needed and tonight was a baked meditteranean tomato chicken dish, pasta with garlic,lemon and beans, salad,bread then fresh fruit salad with creme fraiche and yoghurt. Was very pleasant and we had wine that I bought for 1.99 euro and it was OK.
Hope to post photos tommorrow, night for now ..

Hi Sue et all, everything sounding very summery and hot in comparison to some good old fashioned stormy weather we are having to kick start the school holidays. Good luck for training and enjoy the socialising and global influences. Will get Bryden on here soon hopefully.
