Friday 19th May 2017- Talk about changeable weather

Again, another beautiful morning but within the hour it was raining again, and looked to be set in for the day and this was confirmed by the French weather channel Meteo. So after doing a few caravan type things we headed in to Lisieux for lunch and decided to try our usual haunt very close to the Basilique
. This used to be owned by a gay male couple who were good fun and they also owned a motor home which they used on their odd days off.
Well, things have moved on and although it’s all pretty much the same as before they have stopped the snack menu and only offer a 14.50 Euro set and so we decided to have that and a glass of wine. To be frank the food was excellent and we shall go back again in the near future.
We drove up the hill from the Basilique to the large Leclerc Hypermarket and was able to get in to the building before the rain descended and inside it sounded very loud indeed and it was only when we left the building it looked like white confetti everywhere but in fact there must have been a major hailstone fall as on the route home it was almost white in places. I forgot to bring my camera and therefore did not get any photos of this winter wonderland in mid-May.
We had a quiet evening watching TV and the usual rubbish programmes and it was raining again but the forecast for this weekend is improving well.
