We are still half a day behind watching the cyclists, but are having a lovely time watching all the beautiful Belgian and now French countryside, and interesting buildings. It really does work as a wonderful advert for visiting that part of the world.

I have started the plying on my alpaca / merino. One skein done!

This was actually using the three bobbins worth of singles that I spun before the tour started. It is a 3ply but I haven’t measured how much it weighs or how many metres I have yet, I shall do that when it has finished drying.

Today’s coin is a French 1 Euro as the tour has now entered France.
