August Break for Councillors !!!

Well that is what I was told. Personally I was working well up to last two weeks when I made a firm stand and said 'No more'. My annual holiday was much needed. I had worked solidly for 13 months (having put off three attempts to have a holiday) and was looking forward to a five day break in Orbec Normandy. I had joined the Twinning Organisation at the beginning of my retirement 5 years ago with the intention of improving my school french. I had never been to France until joining twinning and this visit would be my third time and I was relieved to be staying in La Vespiere with my hosts Maud and Michel.

Taking a coach to Portsmouth we set sail for the port of Ouistreham We arrived late at night around 11pm so it was a tired group who set out the next day to meet the Mayor of Orbec and the Mayor of La Vespiere.

Orbec Twinning inspired by teacher Giselle Motio had arranged a tour of Orbec which included a quiz to find which places of interest was in which street.

The medical centre , the post office and the police station were very close to La Place de Mairie in Orbec's market square....... Catch up later with photographs!
