Sunny Normandy: Playing on Water

Normandy enjoys a sunny warm Spring. Everybody heads for the nearest spot of water...

'...we went today, for the first time', writes Francesca Bostock who sent these pictures, 'and thought it rather tranquil. At least it would have been if it weren't for the hundreds of other people who obviously hoped for the same thing!'

Lake Dathée is the heart of the Bocage, near Vire and Sourdeval.

Dathée Padlocked

Sunny warm weather throughout Calvados, Normandy. Golfers are out in force (see them on the other side?), but Summer recreations like the sailing centre at lake Dathée are still padlocked.

A Memory of the Glorious Summer

As days gets colder it's good to remember the glorious summer we had this year.
