Our friends from Saint SauveurLendelin in Normandy have invited us to visit them over the August Bank Holiday weekend from Thursday 23rd August to Monday 27th August.

As the numbers are quite low this time, we have not arranged a coach or mini-bus travel so we are making our own way. However some visitors have spaces in their cars and are willing to take passengers. Please get in touch if you wish to join the visit.

As we are making our own way dates are somewhat flexible and can be varied with hosts but all visitors will be there over the dates above.

We have not yet been told what we shall be doing when we are there and often we are asked what we want to do. So if there are any ideas or suggestions please let us know and we will pass them on to the "Jumelage" in Saint Sauveur.
