What’s with the crazy weather????

Bonjour

It is very windy here. First there was storm Clara followed by storm Inès causing havoc in the English Channel. We have been getting 140 kph winds as the official term from the weather bureau is ‘violent phenomena’.

The usual interruptions – ferry cancellations, flight delays and closure of public buildings are par for the course but making headlines in Cherbourg is the fact that the pedestrian bridge across the water to the shops at Les Eleis has been closed.

Fun fact – the pedestrian bridge was officially opened last year and named in honor of Michel Legrand, the French musical composer who wrote the music for the most famous movie ever made here – The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.

But you would have to take your hats off to the pilot who attempted this landing at Birmingham airport….

We have recently had family from New Zealand come to visit and loved showing them some of the highlights of the Normandy area. We joined them in returning to some of our favourites – Bayeaux, the D Day beaches, Barfleur and Le Mans. It was good to revisit and we always see some new random and quirky things in our travels.

At least the walls have stood the test of time.

Hope you enjoy the pics and the crazy weather calms down where ever you are.

Au revoir

L & M.
