Normandy August 2007



I am Joby, Roger's daughter, and I am looking so pleased because my generous dad gave some of his winnings to me and I went to France with my friend Will. We stayed in a gargantuan chateau in a little village called Aumeville in Normandy. An apartment in the chateau was lent to us by my friend Bizz's generous dad Geoffrey. We walked along blustery Norman beaches and swam in the sea. We dunked croissants in coffee. We swallowed oysters from the harbour at St Vaast. We swigged apply pommeau. We saw the graves of German and American soldiers at Combe and Omaha. We went to Honfleur and to the wedding of my friend George and her now husband John, where we celebrated and ate well and danced badly. Now I am home and looking less pleased. No more croissants for me. Thank you dad.
