[Sundae]

I would have had a better view from my flat, but I went down for le caravane for the sheer fun of trying to catch freebies, and the spectacle.
As previously mentioned, I did. And gave them all away.

Then I walked into the Market Square to watch the big screen as I have no TV.

Both experiences made it so clear to me that watching it with other people would make it so much more worthwhile. I spend far too much time on my own. to the extent of being isolated, The leaders and the peleton would have gone through just as quickly if I'd been alone in my flat, I'd have had maybe an extra five seconds.

But I'd have missed being part of a huge celebration of something I've loved and followed for over 20 years.
I'm not a sports snob. I don't care if most people were there for Otley, for Yorkshire, for England. I don't care if they don't follow the rest of Le Tour. They were there and they shouted and cheered and cheered and laughed and blew whistles and cheered and it was massive. Word.
