On a goûté notre premier petit déjeuner à la française ce matin: pains au chocolat, croissants, du pain frais ou grillé, du chocolat chaud, du café, du thé, du jus d’orange, des céréales… Après note long voyage on l’a mérité.
Aujourd’hui on va passer notre temps à voir la tapisserie de Bayeux et des plages de la deuxième guerre mondiale et ‘D-Day’. Il y a soixante ans les américains ont perdu 1000 dans un seul jour à la plage Omaha. Des photos ce soir, si on fait marcher la technologie!
We tasted out first French breakfast in France this morning: pains au chocolat, croissants, fresh or toasted bread, hot chocolate, coffee, tea, orange juice, cereal… After our long journey we deserved it!
Today we’re going to head out to the Normandy Beaches in the afternoon, after a morning visit to Bayeux and the tapestry there that tells the story of 1066. We’ll also see the place, at the beaches, where 1000 American soldiers died on one day as they landed in France.
Hopefully, tonight we will have the technology to send out photos to you all. Keep looking and cross your fingers! Any questions you want us to answer about today’s visit, click Comments and add it below.
Hope you are having a nice time. We are missing you already. Dad phoned last night he went into the internet cafe and posted a note hope you got it o.k. Hope you are enjoying the food. Don't want you starving ! Nikki is away to sit her higher maths. Speak to you soon.
Luv U

Dear Liam, etc.,
Hope you enjoy your visit to the Bayeux Tapestry
today and I am totally jealous of your visit to the American Cemetery on Omaha Beach, I expect a full (history) report when you get back!
I hope you are going to see Troy at the Arromanche! Brad Pitt's legs x 60 feet high x 360 degrees, now there's a maths calculation I would really be interest in!
Needless to say, we (including your sister!) are missing you terribly.
Have fun, and remember (a) suncream and (b) eat fruit.
Ciao Bambino,
Mx

Hi Kirsty
How's tricks? Let us know how you're doing before Sunday.
Industrial cleaners have inspected your room and you might need a longer trip to let them do a half decent job of cleaning it up.
Taped Friends (Les Amis) last night for you.
Take care
Love Mum XXXXXXXXXX

Have a really good time

Hi William
Hope you are enjoying yourself and had a great
time at Omaha Beach today.Your bedroom has
been fumigated and Michael is now having a
ball. He's played your PS2, laptop and strummed
your guitar! He passes on his best wishes.
Have a good day tomorrow at the market.
Love Mum, Dad and Michael.

hi Iona
you've gone to France, your mums gone to mull, Megs gone to U Roberts. Just me, Norman nae pals sitting here. Maybe Polly will visit. The fish would be good company if they didn't forget who I was every 1 1/2 seconds. Tried to tape ER and friends for you but ended up phoning A Eleanor to do it. You know me and technology.
luv dad
