Abit of a different post from me.
I was meant to post this on Saturday to mark the 82nd anniversary of the D Day Landings, but I’m 48 hours late. Here are a selection of some of my images that I took last week on a family trip to Normandy.
The Normandy British memorial was incredibly poignant with the .with.giants silhouettes, that are back up & in situe until September. There are 1476 of them & they represent all the British soldiers that lost their lives on 6.6.44, the shear scale and size of them takes your breath away & they are intertwined with a stunning mix of red white & blue wildflowers, with poppies at every turn.
My highlight however was meeting Madame Arlette Gondree; the owner of The Pegasus Bridge cafe. She was 4 at the time of liberation, she chatted to the children, asked us about our farming lives & had a photo with them both.
They soaked it all in, asked alot of questions and I hope that they will remember this trip for the rest of their lives. I know I will. L ❤️
