Drawing to an end

We look back and can't believe our time in Normandy passed so quickly, and yet we managed to do so much. We were given pride of place for our final meal at the hotel. Gorgeous puddings!

And on the morning of the 8th, the proprietors got up early to make sure we had breakfast before we left for the morning ferry from Ouistreham. They couldn't have been nicer or done more to make sure our stay was comfortable.

I took very few photos on the crossing. Well, mostly they'd disappeared to 'duty free'. They are matelots after all.

Phil made sure Eddie got up on deck for our arrival in Portsmouth for a view over at today's modern ships - a little less crowded than 69 years ago.

A beautiful sunny June afternoon, heads full of the week's events.

There's not much more to say, but I think there's probably one more post to come. There are far too many highlights not to look back before this blog ends.
