It seems timely. Only 1 week of the Tour de France to go. As the Floosie suggests, let's raise a glass to the Tour of Pembrokeshire.

Hummmph.
All riders back at home base, aka the cooling beer tent.
He'd taken his gaiters off - too hot - and slipped past me as I rocked with the band.

Yay for the Tour - any Tour excites me, but I did like seeing the map of the route, the outfits, the band, the spectators. It did look a bit chilly though. Loved Mark's yellow gaiters. You've gone all Welsh and I had to have some words translated. This is what it said about the beer: A twist on a classic bitter, with balanced character, hints of burnt sugar, cedar and spicy citrus with subtle honey notes”. Sounds yummy. I was rather pleased with myself when I predicted your final phrase as 'cheers' - near enough. Perhaps you have ideas now for a Tour de Triabunna along with a colourful band??? FF awaits news of this.
