Bayeaux

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. πŸ™„

I love the information people send me about things I 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 β˜ΊοΈπŸ‘

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. 😳😒
