Visiting Arromanches, aka Gold beach in #normandy main site of the British forces #DDay landings in #WW2

When the #USA stood with the allied forces in the fight against facsism.

Today I am proud of those who fought for freedom, sad for those who died, and those who suffered.

Also sad about #brexit and the situation in the USA today.

Loving that it’s now, definitively spring. Feels & looks like it. & the roadside daffs are everywhere. Having had a week of work and garden I realised I literally hadn’t left the house for 5 days yesterday so walked up the beach to the local pub with the wife. Clear views across to #Normandy past #Gorey and the castle. Hilarious local #Jersey politics: sign put up by a local land owner to annoy his notoriously mean neighbour who shouts at ‘trespassers’ trying to get down his path to the beach.

A timber built wall with two signs on, to the right asking that users with dogs clear up and to the left “Private Lane. Public use at their own risk. Unlike other grumpy landowners we understand your need to access your beach. Stay safe. Enjoy your day’.
