Little refurb to the shower room using left over worktop from the kitchen refurb with the addition of a new bowl and tap. Love it.

We saw this in a random shop window today. We saw similar in many other places this week.

Cathedrale Notra Dame de Bayeaux. We were lucky enough to witness a wedding and hear the organ playing Mendelssohn in full flap.

We’ve been to the British Normandy Memorial before but had to come and see Standing With Giants, marking the 80 year anniversary of D Day (or Jour J as it is here ). A stunning display. 1475 statues marking the British troops that died just on D Day (not including the battle that followed).

I loved how they’re all different silhouettes, different uniforms, different ranks. I especially love that you can see the remains of the Mulberries at Arromanche in the distance.

The last couple of trips we’ve been looking for a beach we can make ‘our regular’ for Dustin. Today, I think we found it. Just over an hour away, the beautiful village of Cherrueix. Miles and miles of open sand, a creperie over looking the beach and other restaurants in the village. Perfect. And Dustin loved it.
