I couldn’t let this post go past without commenting on a visit to France a few years back. We made a point of having a tour around. After leaving the ferry at Ouistreham we drove along the Normandie coast and learned about the impact that WW2 had on the area. That really is a separate story.
One thing we really wanted to do was to see the Bayeux Tapestry. The tapestry is embroidered on a cloth over 200 feet long and roughly two feet wide. The tapestry depicts the events leading up to the Normandie invasion of England by William The Conqueror.
It was absolutely fascinating, and amazing to think that it had been created over a thousand years ago.
