Bike day today, here to Cancale, coast road to St Malo, lunch at Dol de Bretagne then a long meandering ride back via Sainte Hilaire. It wouldn't have been quite so meandering if I hadn't taken the wrong road.

Me and my daughter in 2019. She passed away from cancer the following year. This was the last gig we went to together. In fact, the last gig I ever went to.
