Now is when we should probably introduce Gerard’s right foot. The said foot progressively got redder and more swollen over the first few days of our French adventure, something possibly accounted to a bite or insect sting but most likely a spider bite... Anyway long story short Gerard ends up in hospital on his second visit (1st in Bordeaux, 2nd Toulouse) and has a little bit of surgery – see photos if you’re game!!! A lovely trip to Southern France turns into ‘Le Tour De Hopital’ instead of Le Tour De France a la wine, cheese, walks and beach but there’s plenty more time for that.... The upside was a return via Paris on the train as I needed to keep my foot up – we needed to stay the night in Paris as it worked out cheaper to stay than go straight back to London....
PS. Gerard owes Bee one trip to France....
