Although I’ve never had the chance to see the Bayeux Tapestry, it would have been wonderful to experience it while I was in Bayeux. Unfortunately, it’s currently on exhibition in London. If I want to see it, I’ll have to return to the UK. 🙄
I love the information people send me about things I've written on this blog. I put a photo on of a sailor kissing a nurse & have been told that the actual photo (see below) was taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt of a sailor kissing a nurse on V-J day August 1945 in Times Square, New York - thank you Richard for the info, it is much appreciated ☺️👍
Today we have been to Bayeaux and the Battery Allemande at Longues-Sur-Mer. A shorter day on the bike some 27 miles (43 kms) 1,000 ft (308 meters) of ascent.
The guns are enormous, incredibly powerful & able to fire a distance of 17.5 kms, all the way to Omaha beach. 😳😢

Hi Wendy. Still looks an amazing trip. We saw a larger than life statue of that photo in Sarasota US called unconditional surrender !! I will send you a photo as I don’t seem to be able to load it here !! xx
Thanks for the photo, I’ve had a number of messages about it. Amazing that so many people knew about it & none of us did 😳.
