A few days away in Normandy
Read much of Robin Niblett’s book, The New Cold War, on the Eurostar to Paris yesterday. Wonderfully written, but pretty bracing. That said, it’s surprising how quickly I have relaxed in the new surroundings of Trouville – it used to take me several days to “land”. The weather has been kind, if also pretty bracing when we were on the beach this afternoon.
And bad news landed while we were at lunch in Les Voiles in Trouville, which threw an unexpected shadow over the proceedings. Still, we made our way across to Honfleur to see the Naturospace butterfly collection and to walk around Honfleur, which I had wanted to visit again since we passed through some time in the 1980s.
