Through Normandy

Portsmouth yesterday was a bit of a reminder of how unequal Britain has become  around the port tatty and people begging and then through an underpass into an area of very smart shops and restaurants for the haves.

Anyway the ferry delivered us to Le Havre this morning. Trains to Rouen  but the next to Serquigny was late due to cow on track. However in Serquigny they kept the next train waiting for us…  Very kind of them and all the passengers delayed on our behalf

 

The cycle South from Conches en Ouche to Ferte Vidame where we ate camped was lovely, warm, big skies mature forests old timbered houses and cornfields. Cassoulet for supper.

Snack time

Barn, restoration project anyone?

    I can remember going to Newquay when they would keep the train waiting – and later how cross we used to be when they didn’t – in the interests of efficiency!
