NORMANDY - FINAL UPDATE

Better late than never!  WiFi problems in Normandy... hence the delayed update...

Y7 pupils invade a French market place and buy local produce for the splendid picnic lunch later. A few good hagglers were born today and great bargains were discovered - 5 French cheeses for 5 Euros was a steal!

  



From here, we went on to travel along a beautifully scenic train route by velorail (four man cycle powered buggies). Fortunately, the weather held through our cycling, but broke just as we started to tuck into the delicious feast that we had bought at the market place.  One of the old rail carts was opened up specifically for us, and it was none too soon: the heavens opened




The rain stopped before we changed and got into our kayaks. Sadly, the weather didn't hold, but by the time the rain started falling again, we were so wet that we didn’t care! It was warm and so a fun time was had by all.









Wet but happy the Latymerians returned to the farmhouse to enjoy a tasty and filling lasagne, followed by a great fruit, meringue, crème fraiche and chocolate pudding concoction!
