Walking and driving up and down

Hello friends!

Today we were up at 7 and first at breakfast at half past eight. 

We then started our day by going to see the Goury lighthouse 

We drove up and down very narrow lanes and went to see the painter’s house Jean Francois Millet you may know his famous painting “ The Angelus”

It was probably a thatched house was mostly a barn in front of his house.

It is the well in front of his house he painted 60 times.

This is the old village he liked to paint, rural life.

This is his painting of the well. 
 

We have beautiful sunny days

This looks as if it was on the moon they are dunes.

There are beautiful bays everywhere. I used to walk a lot with our children and our dogs there going up and down the cliffs there are many paths on top of the cliffs above the sea.

This is Port Racine the smallest harbour of France.

The. Statue of Jean Francois Millet

Another bay

The pasture where there are usually cows and sheep’s.

We walked 5 kms and went across and up and down the peninsula. We are tired and resting in our room! See you tomorrow!

The amphibious boat going to Tatihou island 

We had a cheese  and bread board on our terrace for supper in silence only the cry of the seagulls!

 I hope you enjoyed your day! 🥰 

Second destination

Hello Friends !

We arrived our destination. In this part of France you can have all the type of weather in one day!

We began with a little rain then wind, sun and quite warm and now cloudy and quite windy!

I am sitting outside on our terrace with a coffee and a little pastry 🥮 

The staff here is very welcoming and the restaurant being full tonight they made another reservation ina fish restaurant just beside the hotel.

They can book everything for you! How nice and helpful.

We will try to get a boat to go the Anglo Normand island of Guernesey.

This is the hotel very confortable

The bedroom is clear and spacious 

 We did some shopping, a cap from Ireland for my husband and an orange winter scarf for me ( to match with brown)

I also found British magazines it is the place to find them with a lot of British tourists !
