A Canadian focus (eh?)

We shifted into Courselles to a free park-up and I made a sprint to catch a guided tour of the bunkers at the Juno beach museum. Hardly worth the effort but the museum was OK. I learnt a bit about Canada and its involvement in the war, including some trivia about flags.

De Gaulle stepped ashore here and declared a provisional French government.

But only after there's been some heavy fighting. This is the result not of sand erosion, but of engineers' explosion! I'll bet all involved were surprised by the results, on both sides!

This one, however, is simply erosion.

This Churchill AVRE was buried until 1985, as it had been used to fill a stream bed.

Once out J and I strolled through Courselles, though we had to fight quite a strong wind!

This really is a lovely part of France, indeed tout le monde, and we are so lucky to be able to do what we're doing!

(We lost some photos here - nothing important, just some relics and our park-up, but I hope the camera isn't cracking up.)
