Le Mans


Apart from the market in the morning, Sunday was a day to remain at our gorgeous cottage and relax in its beautiful garden admiring the wildlife and the surroundings.

Monday dawned overcast and drizzly which didn't fill us with enthusiasm so we decided to visit a nearby town which was twinned with the town we used to live in. Yeah - great idea - remember Douai? This was another town which was closed for lunch. We just kept on driving to the next place of any size - which just happened to be Le Mans - what a surprise boys. David and Christopher were in their element - we drove around the 24 hour race track; or at least most of it - the part of it which is public roads for the rest of the year - not once but twice. Then we went into the museum but Elizabeth and I sat down with a cup of coffee whilst the boys went and drooled over every car which has ever won the Le Mans 24 hour Grand Prix. Christopher has a photo of every one of them and when I can prize them off him I will post a few.
