Zoë growing up; arriving in Falaise
Left home at 10.30 en route de France. Traffic delays on M25 and rain made us a little late at Chris & Maxine’s. It was lovely to see them and Zoë who has grown quite a lot, both physically and mentally - as is to be expected! No tennis, as it rained: so after eating two meals - very good - we left about 8pm for P’mouth. Crossing a bit rough on occasion, weather changeable when we arrived, and several people at Falaise told us it had been the same during June. It was really chilly on Monday, but on Tuesday it improved, we had a game of tennis, but Bill has a ‘mal a dos’, which plagued him a bit.
