French Leave

Le Touquet was the base for our weekend break.  The weather was mixed - Friday dull, Saturday sunny, today WET.  Here is a pictorial account of the weekend, enjoy

Practice Air Display on Friday

 Oh the food shops

Empty Market Hall on Friday - and flower shops

Pretty displays

The architecture

They do love their cakes and chocolate

and fish!!  So many fish shops in one town

Market on Saturday

Such lovely things....... 

What a difference a day makes - Saturday and Sunday - and a bit more Air Display

As befits the weather - Etaples Military Cemetery - 8000+ commonwealth soldiers and air men mainly from the 1st World War, a sobering experience

  6. I'll miss the fish but pass me the cakes and chocolate. Seriously, it looks as though you had a wonderful time, as usual. Your pictures are always amazing. The houses are so beautiful, not at all like the "little boxes" we see over here on modern housing estates. Did you fine any yarn shops?
