Le Chant had better be there - he's official photographer - reckon if anyone can make us look good, he can:rofl:
I'm travelling down with Novocastrian and his OH. When I met them last week for the first time, I was carrying a small cooler bag with a big Canadian maple leaf on it - not many of those around:eek: I've also met Le Chant and his OH, so know what they look like. Do you look the same as you do in your photo Jazzy n lol? If so, will spot you. Flutterfly, just head for the noisy English speaking group:rofl:
I presume there is a car park, so may be that would be a good starting point?
Might be an idea to send mobile phone no's in pm's too?

Car park sounds good. We'll be arriving in a white FreeLander, and I've had all my hair chopped off, so I look slightly different! (Val - I'll PM you my mobile number anyway).


Oh, are we bringing lunch? Is there a resto there? Is it open? Can I think of any more daft questions? :D

What's the bet they'll all get kidnapped by British separatists who'll demand a ransom of one decent French accent before they'll be allowed to go.

Do not fear, you will be rescued by a spaceship which will give you alien blood, a new set of memories of your grandmother cracking chestnuts in the chimney and a French passport.

Ah. As you don't have your Carte Vitale I'm afraid you'll have to take out extra insurance before the meet up as the cost of the blood transfusion can not be met by the reciprocal agreement we have with Planets outside the solar system.

You know, the last time I was abducted by aliens, they had nowt like that. It's amazing what a difference 600 years can make isn't it?

I don't mind driving for a hour or so, was thinking somewhere near to Mayenne so people like Jazzy n Lol and flutterfly could possibly join in, and maybe we could even entice G-J-B out of Paris:rofl:
Otherwise, I know quite a few possibilities here close to Carentan:thumbsup:
Weather is good and thought it might be nice to put faces to names:eek:
especially as Novocastrian will have finally made it over (there goes the neighbourhood:blink:)
I'm off down south for a couple of days from tomorrow (doing a Thelma and Louise trip with friend from UK:rofl:) but will catch up when I get back and arrange things if there is interest.


Good luck for tomorrow,looks like you have the best weather in France.enjoy your day.
