We have taken it quite easy this
week and as the weather has not been too good with quite a bit of rain and cool
evenings but we did go out on the 31st May to celebrate our 41 years
of married life and we went to a different restaurant in Courmeilles and the
food was great and there was rather a lot on the plates and Jennifer’s veal
chop was huge and Noels entrecote steak was also large but also very tender and
tasty. No eating tomorrow then
On Sunday 3rd June we
toured the ‘Route du Cidre’ which winds its way around the hills and dales and
past countless apple trees and also many private makers of Cider and Apple Juice
and of course Calvados. We stopped in one village for a coffee and a look
around and said we must come back when the weather is better. We had a picnic
lunch and then headed back home for a little sit in the sun which had somehow
come from nowhere.
We are both reading a lot at the
moment, Noel is reading a great book called “ A 1000 years of annoying the
French” and it is s really good way of learning history as the manner in which
it is written is really very good and humorous. It was interesting that I was
reading a part about the Bayeux Tapestry which it says that the content is not
entirely true and that some events have been changed to make the Brits look
bad!!!, also did you know that Champagne was only made possible by the Brits,
again read the book for more info.
We are planning a trip to the local
Safari Park and also a train ride to Caen once the weather is better and photos
look so much better when there is sun about.
Internet on site is not entirely
reliable as we are way out of town but also not cheap, about £ 2.00 per hour
and so we visit Liseaux on a regular basis to catch up but the photos will not
load here on site due to the slow speed.
Today its Tuesday 5th
June and a bit grey and it could rain again, but we did go shopping for some
fish for tonight and a little walk. Noels knee has improved significantly thank
heavens but walking downhill can be tough as we discovered when shopping. We
visited the old church in Courmeilles and it is amazing as it runs uphill inside
about 7-10 degrees and so aides a slow arrival and a fast leaving.
Just finished lunch and ready for a
zizz and then check the email.
