France Trip day 5

Went 60 miles west this morning to British ex pat riders picnic at Cartenac. Very friendly bunch of assorted early retirees, some content with their lot and others seemingly eager to share woes. I heard last night from another ex pat that many want to return to the UK but are trapped by the property crash and are stuck with devalued funds running low.
Took my leave of the Honda Owners Club to go east to Normandy via Rennes and Avranches - a very hot ride. The couple I am staying with have true ex squaddie black humour and very interesting lives. A great evening including healthy, spicy food - thank god for that after the past few evenings.
Tomorrow its off to see the American invasion areas on Ethel with off the beaten track places to visit and insights.
