As the weather was pretty good, yesterday, we decided to go up to a port called Grandcamp-Maisy (near Omaha Beach) as it was their annual Coquille Saint-Jacques en FĂȘte. This included looking over the scallop boats, various exhibitions and market stalls, all to be followed by a firework display. It was all very interesting but I was not sure about the 'scallop nets' as they are designed to rip the sea bed up to collect this shellfish - but on saying this, I must admit we did buy some scallops.
We had some time to spare before having a meal and the fireworks so we went down onto the beach. The boys played in the sand and then played 'tag' with us, whilst the dogs had a good run round. Both Rosie & I really enjoyed watching boys and dogs playing. After taking the dogs back to the car we found a local restaurant where we had an excellent meal with a scallop starter and fish main course. And the fireworks - well the man organising them apparently forgot to turn up!
Anyway, the boys had a great time making sandcastles on the beach, in the dark, and this evening we had a tasty scallop supper.
Mmmmmmmm scallops...(drool)
