Welcome to my first ever blog. I am sitting in a gloriously sunny French campsite having had a great day exploring Mont Saint Michel. So far our adventure is going very smoothly, we had a great crossing and then spent a night in a small but pleasant campsite where we have stayed before.
Wednesday was spent at the Bayeux tapestry and marvelling at it's incredible story and great needle work. I do have to confess that without the audio guide I think I would have missed most of the finer details. There still seems to be much debate over who made it, England or France!!!! We then spent the night in a carpark in Bayeux. We paid nothing for the privilege and had a nice quiet evening. It also meant that we could enjoy a take away pizza.
Today we have been up Mont Saint Michel and had a guided tour of Abbey church at the top. It truly is one of the maddest pieces of architecture and construction I have ever seen. Apparently Arch Angel Michael choose the rock and then the Abbey was built on top of the point of the mound. The day brought back some very happy memories of a trip many years ago with Anne. The last trip involved me driving!!!
We had our first glimpse of the Atlantic tonight - looks like most other big bits of water to me - but who am I to say. Oh, yes and it was a clear day so we could see America.
Sounds good.Are Horace and Hunton behaving?. Love to A and T. Will be in same country as you tomorrow! D and G
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blogosphere new blogger - MSM looks amazing and your pizza pic is nearly as good as a drawing of a cornflake Sx
ReplyDeleteNot often I say thank Gawdness for Ronald. You are missing much electioneering and a large cloud of ash although I suspect you might be lucky enough to share it soon.
ReplyDeletePrumpf.

Fantastic to see Hunton in the picture - even Chris was excited by that! All sounds lots of fun - well perhaps except the bit about sleeping in a car park in Bayeux, but perhaps that's just my preference!
ReplyDeleteMum very excited as Emily said 'Grandma' today!
Lots of love C, C, N and E
PS - it's not really Chris, it's me, although it's his google account!
ReplyDeleteYeah, we worked that out Claire. M
