Camping le Picard, Tournieres

 Not so much to report today as we spent the morning 'at home' doing a few jobs, reading and puzzling.  Quite glad we did the day this way round as we had a very heavy shower during the morning.  But after lunch the sky cleared and we set off for a little walk along the lanes.  

We picked up 2 large cooking apples from outside someone's garden and then John climbed onto a grassy bank to pick a few blackberries.  Pudding sorted.
This black cloud passed us by.
So the sun was still shining when we got back to our campsite.
Near the entrance is a small lake and an English chap we'd met earlier in the day, asked us to urgently  get his wife to bring his phone.  He needed a camera to record the huge carp he'd been hanging on to for 15 minutes!
John went to fetch her while her husband hauled in his catch, then it was into his net and out for the photo.
He told us that over the last couple of hours, he'd caught ever increasing sizes of fish.  But this was the big one! He quickly unhooked it and put it back in the lake.

 Continuing to move slowly homewards from now on.  But plan to go into Bayeux en route tomorrow to visit the Battle of  Normandy Museum - we were too tired to do that yesterday afternoon.
