Another hot day

Hello Friends!

It is very hot here! This part of France is always the coolest of Normandy ( but it this year!)

We have walked less than usual because we walked a lot yesterday 5 kms and today 3,5 kms

And we would like to visit another place tomorrow and go to some famous shops.

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.

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