You knew it had to come sometime over the next couple of weeks: a nod to
le Tour de France. Last year's winner of
le maillot jaune and one of Australia's favourite sons, Cadel Evans, is in the running again. {I think he went to the same
School of Genuinely Nice Guys as our Hugh.} It's early days so we'll keep our tinder dry, but he's sitting very nicely so far. And he's well placed, too. I avoided the obvious and did not dress kitty in lycra, firstly because I couldn't bear to impose such an indignity on her, and secondly because head gear would be the obligatory accessory and I refuse to give her helmet fur. Thanks to dear
Virginia of Paris Through My Lens for the wealth of inspiration {you'll find several other bicycles on that post if one simply isn't enough... bisous, ma chère!} If you'd like to go for a ride, I've chosen a
maillot jaune of the more feminine kind, plus
something that has a little give without revealing all. The basket is loaded with baguettes and flowers ~ good for the soul. And on that note...
Happy Francophile Friday to you!
