Postcard from Normandy

Our last Holiday for this year..Unless I can persuade Hubby to have a caravan holiday to Hastings to check out the 1066 events?? Maybe If I go all doe eyed at him? A 7 hour trip on the ferry with my Mum beng a hero and driving us to the ferry port and the House ..driving on the wrong side of the road, she took to it well..Bravo Mon Mere! The boys loved France I think..they where being "pickles" all week plus I was Hormonal and grumpy. Anyways I think we took a lot in, We visited the Bayeux Tapestry, and Cathedral (Which are both stunning!). We also took In Omaha Beach and Golden Beach d-day landings. I found this hard, there where so many museum that charged a lot of money and somehow it seemed they where proifteering greatly from peoples deaths. I'm not sure where the money went , I think the french Government maintain the war memorials/cemeteries (which where too much for me to take in) . I think also when you have seen one war museum they where all pretty much the same, So I would really only recommend one, we did the overload on Omaha. French people as always so welcoming to the kiddies and the guys had a great time practising language skills. We found it odd that whilst there where a lot of houses there was also hardly anyone there , I should imagine in summer it's packed with visitors..but off season hardly any locals at all. I'm glad we managed to pack so much in.
