Cow wash…
Cow, AKA Derek has been thoroughly enjoying the road trip,
however, he was starting to look very grubby!
When staying in the log cabin we forced Cow into the sink for a wash, he
did not look impressed! Afterwards he was
strung up over the wood burning stove for a few days to dry! It wasn’t long before he recovered from the
ordeal and got into the Easter spirit – he looked particularly fetching in his
‘Creme Egg’ Box!
Ankles and shoulders…
It’s been a busy month socially, as various groups
of friends have visited Fontainebleau. The first group were Simon,
Lorraine, Sarah, Dan, Rhys, Duma, Luke and Ellie from The Bristol Climbing Academy
(bouldering wall). It was great fun to
climb with them and good to see Lorraine getting high on ‘Moon Dance’ at the
end of the week. 
A week later we had the
luxury of staying in a log cabin with some other friends – Dan, Lisa, Rich,
Sarah and Pete. The week didn’t go so
well for some though… On day one Dan
dislocated his shoulder! It was an old
injury but still very frustrating for him. Then a few days later Lisa (Dan’s partner)
sprained her ankle by landing on the edge of a bouldering pad. Unfortunately this involved a trip to
hospital and some crutches for the rest of the week! Hopefully, we can have a more successful
visit to the forest in the Autumn!
We were then joined by Simon, Jo, Maggie, Iain, Nik, Eve and
Al (and some of Maggie's family). They camped in a local campsite, so
we treated ourselves again and enjoyed showers and many evenings around a
campfire. The weather was stunning for
this week – loads of sunshine and very little rain. Well done to Simon for sending his long standing project - Lapin ou Canard! We climbed most days and were in need of a
good rest at the end.
