Normandy trip

We had a gentle time wandering through Normandy with Helen. Lots of elegant chateaux and manoirs to stay in, many good meals and birthday fun.


A picnic at Chateau St Jean at Rémalard.


An unexpected invitation from the owner of this private chateau to come and have a look inside! Fascinating.



An overnight stay in the Chateau de St Paterne with its elegant gardens.




Delightful gardens at the Prieuré de St Michel at Crouttes.

Crumbling ruins with wallflower at Falaise.

Sculpture on Omaha beach.

Much inspiration for pots...

...and time for thinking.

The most astonishing beach at Port en Bassin made entirely of scallop shells. It could win the Turner prize.
