This time of year is the season for gushing insincerity, contentious and lizard-like lobbying and many crocodile tears. Awards, whether they be Baftas, Oscars or Grammys are rarely without controversy, as they are not simply races for the finish. Some people like to watch these excruciatingly disingenuous ceremonies, Kicheche spotters would rather be out on the plains.

SILVER
Which brings me to Florian and Sonia Rousseau, recent popular Gallic visitors to Kicheche. Judging by a significant arsenal of images and memories, theirs was a safari that would garner many a gong, not something they are unused to as Florian is a three times cycling Olympic gold medal winner. The interesting part though is that it is his wife Sonia that took all these images so in this mini awards ceremony it is her that receives the Kicheche podium love: bien fait, tous les deux.
