June 8 Bayeux
Phoned the children, to check on their well-being and then to see an exhibition of Bayeux porcelain at the Musee Baron Gerard, and to inspect a modern tapestry done by 243 people in Zeeland, a province of the Netherlands. Titled 'Made by Us', the tapestry is 126 metres long and 45 cm high. Underneath each panel there is an explanation of why the artist selected their particular embroidered images. Also visited the cathedral, parts of which are 1000 years old. Splendid stained glass and carved images.
Shared conversation at dinner with a couple from Mt Martha! A relief to be able to relax and talk English - although I must admit that I am enjoying the challenge of communicating in French, which is becoming slightly easier.
