I'm not interested in the race but it would have been lovely to see the aerial views of the countryside, I'm glad I've seen it here!<br />I was in Skipton the day before it went through and it was lovely to see it all decorated up. There was a big yellow bike on the church as well as the jersey.Little Blue Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13616392505984609128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247444515135484880.post-69344825481092883282014-07-11T20:52:26.068+01:002014-07-11T20:52:26.068+01:00The knitted bike was created by the Crafty Ladies ...The knitted bike was created by the Crafty Ladies of Leyburn.

She sits to one side of the telly and bats at the peleton when there is an aerial shot of them. :) She discovered tennis this year and enjoyed swatting the balls and the heads of the ball boys and girls as they darted across the screen.<br />I was thrilled that the Tour started in Yorkshire. One branch of my family was from the county originally - the village of Castley. For reasons not known, they migrated across to Shap in Cumberland (I know!), and even after more than 600 years, our lot are still referred to as Yorkshiremen! :)Robyn of Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11830917656529638295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247444515135484880.post-42306459717507440182014-07-07T22:52:14.125+01:002014-07-07T22:52:14.125+01:00Jacquie, you saw more on the TV than I did actuall...Jacquie, you saw more on the TV than I did actually at the race, but the atmosphere was tremendous.

Such lovely green countryside. The photos were so great it was like being in the UK.. Loved the wool sheep on the bike the kids drew and the knitted bike. Thanks so much for sharing. Neat how you was able to take photos from your TV. May I ask how wide your TV is. It seem like just the perfect size for home viewing.

We love watching Tour de France because the telecast does a great job of balancing the cycling and the scenery. My city hosts the Tour Down Under so later in the year you will get to see my side of the world if it is broadcast in the UK.<br />I see there was a big prang today in the racing. It amazes me that they don't get injured more seriously than they do. I am so happy that people allover the world are embracing an exciting racing sport that is a lot kinder on the environment than car racing for example, and it is all human powered.Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247444515135484880.post-49997305579470077112014-07-06T10:40:34.524+01:002014-07-06T10:40:34.524+01:00Thanks so much Jacqui, I love all the 'local&#...Thanks so much Jacqui, I love all the 'local' colour attached to the race but don't really have any interest in the actual race so I've been eagerly waiting to read my favourite Yorkshire blogger's accounts.
