...But what can I say in mitigation? Well, I've been painting stuff but not completing things. I've also been on holiday in Normandy for an extended week, which was lovely. Here are some bronze Americans, exiting a Higgins boat to liberate the Le Roosevelt bar and restaurant just across the road behind me.
Here are our two Westies, Dora (furthest away) and Ralph examining Utah beach in detail.
And for those of you who like this sort of thing (I know that I do), here is a close-up of HVSS suspension on a M4A1(76)W HVSS (followed by a photo of the whole vehicle).
Of course, we did lots of other things in Normandy that didn't involve D Day, mainly because we have been there more than once in the past, but I shall have to leave a photo of the famous Café Gondrée at Pegasus Bridge.
And another of some colourful baskets in the weekly market in Sainte-Mère-Église, where we bought some terrific Calvados from the producer and pork sausages from the farmer who raised the pigs.
Normandy is well worth visiting. There is so much to see, do, eat and drink, even if you aren't interested in D Day.
Hi Carole, I hoped you picked up a large basket, just the thing for purchases from the next wargame show. 😊
ReplyDeleteI do appreciate posts like these, as being in Australia it is very unlikely that I will ever see these places, so getting some photos is fantastic. Thank you.
I'm glad you liked the post, thanks. I did buy a basket. I love nice baskets, but not for my spoils from shows. I have a sturdy and voluminous canvas over the shoulder bag for that sort of thing.
