We also visited a chocolate factory at the start of the trip



This was a great stop at the start of the trip. Don't get upset about the chocolate bunny!


The goats farm



After the bread making we needed some quality goats cheese. We went to a tasting and then we saw the goats, the donkey and the farm dog.

Let's make some bread




On Thursday we visited a bakery and made our own bread. We needed something nice to go with our bread so we headed off to find some cheese.

Biscuits and soft drinks




After all the History we ne factory.eded some more food. It was time to do some baking at a local biscuit factory. We then went to a local restaurant for a well deserved drink.

Day 2 - Bayeux Tapestry, Pegasus Bridge, D Day











Day 2




Day 2 started with a visit to the town of Bayeux. We went to the tapestry which told us about the Battle of Hastings.

The Normans were pretty cool as they managed to invade England which is kind of tough.

George Guven thought the tapestry was very cool. "It was really long, its like an early comic book all about the battle.


George also enjoyed the 360 cinema which was all about the D- Day landings. "I would give today an 8/10 which is a very good score.

Henry Bennett liked Pegasus Bridge because it had loads of History. "I could imagine it just as it was."


George Fielding


I enjoyed the cemetury becuase it gave me a sense of the suffering. I could see that the families were troubled as well as the soldiers.
