Normandy Tour 2001

The Normandy Rally was well attended, and our thanks go to Vicki & Martin and to Sue and Peter for all their care and effort in organising a memorable holiday. 34 members in 15 tractions drove around a well planned route, with picnic stops for lunch and visits to local attractions including Mont St Michel, a granite museum, the Apple and Pear museum (this is the home of Calvados), the home of Christian Dior, and finally Utah Beach. There was a super barbecue at Sue & Peter's home on the first evening, and then excellent dinners at mill restaurants on the next two evenings. The desert at the second of these must have been the chef's signature dish - a concoction of gooey chocolate pudding, ice cream, sculptured biscuit and spun sugar. He may have had our tractions in mind, because the biscuit looked suspciously like a fuel pump heat shield, and the spun sugar spiral was not unlike a carburator return spring. For those who stayed another night there was a barbecue at Vicki & Martin's home. Everyone enjoyed themselves, and once again our thanks to the organisers.
