Some of my previous stories have involved people who have come over to my place in France, and we have had much fun taking photographs, frolicking naked in the grounds/wood and having a great time.

However this time I had gone out to clear up my place (covid had kept me away) The 1st visit was to clear 18 months of jungle and the 2nd (a few weeks ago) was to tidy up and prepare for winter lock down. Whilst UK had terrible weather I had ideal conditions and was doing a lot of work around the house as well as the garden. Part of the work was refurbishing the shutters, so these had been taken down, letting in light.. Any way it was around 4 pm, the sun was setting, I had built up a huge fire in log burner and was chilling out. I was due to meet up with some friends, so needed a shower, but thought bugger it, I will strip off, in utility room, put all clothes in washing machine and then go up for shower. I was not aroused, but I like being naked and was "hanging well". I had just loaded and switched on machine, when I was startled by a noise. Knowing how isolated I was, I felt it was not a visitor (probably more wild boar) Suddenly the noise repeated, I looked up and there was a person looking straight at me through the glass in the door. I quickly grabbed a towel and rather red faced went to the door. There stood a rather comely lady with a cycling helmet on and a huge grin.. I opened the door and with arms spread out basically said "I'm sorry" Je regretl . The lady laughed and said "regret, non".

It transpired that she had a electric bike, and the chain had come off. Seeing smoke coming out of my chimney she came for assistance. I quickly got dressed in some old clothes, offered her coffee and looked at the bike. Basically is was a bike by D*******N, the chain had stretched and come off. Being an electric bike there was no real adjustment for the chain.

I took it into my workshop, over turned it and started to see what I could do. It was quite easily sorted, I managed to move the position of the wheel backwards and get some tension back in it. Meanwhile "Anne" was looking round and was intrigued by my tandem. She gestured that maybe she could have a ride on it, I signed no prob, but no electric. She laughed out loud, gestured back basically saying I would provide the power, she would enjoy the ride.

We exchanged telephone numbers and I promised her a trip on my tandem next year. Since then we have been texting and emailing, Anne is a widow, a bit younger than me, with grown up children with grandchildren, she had moved away from Rennes to "get her life together". She has since sent a picture of me repairing her bike and then one of me loading up the washing machine in my birthday suit. She marked it Tres Bien" A cheeky but very nice minx.

As I said, very very tame but she is really a lovely person and her company next year would be very welcome.. We shall see

Roll on 22
