Les Batailles , France
Very hot day and a nice welcome were the powerful hoses watering the sunflower fields which sprayed onto the road. We purposely waited and cycled through them, sometimes turning round for another soaking! Spent a long time trying to find somewhere to stay. Eventually found a farm in the middle of nowhere but we had no food. They sold us some milk and bread from their kitchen and gave us some tomatoes from their garden, also some windfall peaches. These with our tin of pate, eating in a shady hollow, was a meal to remember. Simple things in life!
