D-Day
81 yrs ago thousands of Allied soldiers landed on the Beaches of Normandy to begin the destruction of the Nazi hold of Europe.
1,475 British soldiers died on D-Day.
73,000 Allied forces were killed in the Battle of Normandy.
We must never forget that their sacrifice gave us our freedom.

Many guests comment on the bucolic beauty of Normandy but in the past it was also a centre of industry www.facebook.com/groups/70285...

There are numerous industrial museums across Normandy which I have blogged about here: www.eco-gites.eu/blog/post/in...

Not only is airport expansion bad for the environment it does not boost the economy. Please sign this petition to stop airport expansion in the UK: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...
Apparently we need airport expansion to boost the economy. But airports take more money out of the economy than they bring in.

We don't need bigger airports. Sign the petition to stop airport expansion: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

French flags flying at the war memorial in Lénault to commemorate VE Day.

To the soldiers who lost their lives so we could have our freedom, I say thank you.

What April Fools have you seen today? Apparently we are getting a ski slope just down the road from us (with cable car), our local zoo now has dragons, a company is creating slide runs just for pets and there will be an underwater bike trial with glass sides to access Mont Saint Michel 🤣🤣🤣

Not sure what is happening with that great big gaps in bookings in June and early July. Last year these were booked up easily.
June includes the commemorations for D-Day and July includes the Tour de France passing very close to the gite.

I loved the picture on my PC this morning. Goldfinches are one of my favourite birds and at times this winter we had over 30 of them around the bird feeders. We are very lucky to live in a region that has so many birds of a wide variety of species. Just waiting, now for the first swallows to arrive.
