En France, Part 1

Well, I have just arrived in France but not en route to Brindisi, simply en route to Boulogne-sur-mer with eighty children in tow. We are only here for a day to visit a boulangerie, a sweet factory and do some shopping in the town itself. It’s not the stuff of adventure if you are about to embark on an epic trip to the south of Italy but I suppose if you are only twelve years old it is up there in the great events of your life so far. I’m back here Thursday to repeat the exercise with another group of students before returning for a third time next Tuesday with just my bike for company and 3,500 kilometres in front of me….
