CABOURG PLAGE

 

I want to share some pictures of Cabourg where we spent some great days with our kites on the beach (after a fall the first day, ice and oinment on my right knee I was able to join him on the Thursday).

Quelques photos souvenirs de Cabourg, nous avons pu profiter de la plage, du vent et de nos cerfs-volants (après une chute dès notre arrivée, de la glace et de la crème sur mon genou droit, j'ai pu remarcher dès le jeudi).

Enough wind, no rain and of course a schedule linked to tide times.

The beach is great enough for runners, kids, training racehorses (a lot of well known stud farms in Normandy and racecourses), shellfishes collectors...

DH has many new homemade kites to test

as those three cubes and the big butterfly

Notre planning étant bien sûr organisé en fonction des heures de marée.

JB avait plusieurs créations à tester et les cubes et le papillon se sont révélés très réussis.

Je n'ai pas pris beaucoup de photos mais j'ai pu également essayer quelques clichés à la manière de Shamekh Bluwi.

Il va falloir que je prépare d'autres dessins pour de nouvelles sessions photos.

I didn't take much pictures but could try to do some "in the manner of"  Shamekh Bluwi.

Here are some examples of his work

Not so easy to do it alone but I shall make more drawings for a next photo shoot!

I'll be back on Sunday with pictures of our visit at the castel in Vendeuvre and we went to Pegasus Bridge Memorial in Benouville and to the Paleospace in Villers sur Mer.

Voici deux sorties intéressantes faites à Benouville pour le musée du Pégasus Bridge lié au débarquement du 06/06/44 et au Paléospace de Villers-sur-Mers. Je détaillerai notre visite au château de Vendeuvre dimanche prochain.

Ce mois-ci : de nouvelles cartes d'anniversaire, des progrès sur la dame à la licorne, deux nouveaux hexagones, l'ajout de quelques paires de moustaches et des yeux.

Let's begin with homemade birthday cards

This bag of wishes has been sent to Spain...

Eve-Amélie will receive some donuts and

another September card is in progress

with the help of Mochi who is trying to make place

with her tail

Only some enigmatic pictures to keep the finish secret

Now that the cat is back in her home

my unicorn is happy to be my favorite animal again

(kit gifted by dear daughters)

About crocheted gifts

The total of hexagons is 23

and I'm adding some whiskers to my little cats

A last little gift, I found back an old "magical wallet"

from my Mum to my daughter

and made one for Soline

UN PEU DE VENT DU LARGE A CABOURG

 We are back from Cabourg and I want to share some sunny days with you.

De retour de notre petit séjour normand, voici quelques photos de Cabourg sous le soleil.

Our main objective was of course to enjoy the beach and the wind with our kites

Du vent parfait, pas trop fort et stable.

Perfect wind, not too strong and steady.

and when you don't have enough hands you can get help

an old friend from DD1 (I open it, add velcro patch and now she gets a new life as technical assistant).

My owl.

Sand is better than Dieppe pebbles to walk on.

Lot of shells on the beach and a special shape I wanted to collect for a future project, so I made some stock!

The rooster weathervane was part of the repair of the church tower

Market, Grand Hotel, Merry-go-round.

Our last visit was during the Covid period so every place was closed, it was time to return to restaurant, museum and shops.

Lot of choices in this small town.

Fish food on the menu with a special congrat to the "Hasting's" and its quiet terrace at the back!!!

for a fillet of sea bream with courgette spaghettis and an amazing pesto with pine gable, fennel seeds, pansy and tops of young peas plants.

A nice visit to the "villa du temps retrouvé",  a Belle Epoque exhibition with lot of paintings, furnitures, music room, letters and books displays, lot of black and white movies from the early 20th century.

J'aime beaucoup les scénographies qui animent ainsi les cadres, jeux de cartes ou cahier d'écriture avec de petits films en noir et blanc.

La villa est meublée, décorée pour rappeler l'ambiance Belle Epoque et nous offre de magnifiques peintures de paysages normands et de nombreux portraits réalisés par Paul César Helleu, Jacques Emile Blanche, pas de fond propre donc des prêts de musées et institutions prestigieuses et un renouvellement garanti.

Une petite pause dans le jardin, le temps d'un cappuccino et d'un diabolo citron.

Nice to take a break in the garden with a cappuccino.
