Another gorgeous sunny week at our Chambres dhotes near Carentan Normandy. We have been out and about on our bikes. The scenery is stunning and the cycle paths well thought out. From the disused railway tracks that provided a flat and elevated view of the Normandy countryside to the winding tracks around the villages and nature reserves. Cycling is a great way to see the real Normandy and points of interest that you may not notice in a car.
We went to our monthly French/Anglo evening. We have been adopted by a lovely group of French people who this week were teaching us some slang. Ouget who is old enough to be our Grand mother was teaching us some rather racy phrases and even accompanied them by making drawings on her napkins. We had a great time and look forward to next month’s soiree.
All of this sunny weather means that the garden is ablaze of yellow from the hundreds of daffodils to primroses and forsythia. Next month it will change to the blue of the bluebells that are already coming up. The new hedges have been laid and the garden is becoming more established.
