Houlgate Plein Vent: 5-7 April 2013
Possibly the coldest three days of our lives.... the snow in Houlgate had only melted the week before! You'd never gues how ruddy cold it was from this pretty video
Dicky was very glad of his Aldi thermal undies - prevented frost damage & hypothermia!
The last picture Of Peter's spinner!!!!!!!             Poor Peter, spinny kite gone AWOL (sad face)
so... lesson learned... if it's too windy for the Git gazebo... Peter?
Keith helping with Paul Chapman's display - as only Keith can...
Did you ever see an Arduino-Iflite setup before? We certainly hadn't - then along came Paul C... So that's what Keith was doing with the bunting! We thought the GOGs did rather well to decorate the marquee We created our own "Git Corner" in this bit of the splendid marquee
Our French friends try an Iflite for the first time - They seemed to enjoy it!
The local supermarket bravely withstood the ravages of a horde of shivering gits in search of stuff that warms
They had a wonderful array of drinkies too - but we wouldn't want to encourage the drinking of alcohol!
Meanwhile outside the warmth of the marquee, the Gits did their best!
Cold? Was it really that cold????? Check out these photos and decide for yourself!	We saw acts of violence & aggression Poor Collin was assaulted by a vagrant
Minkey attracted the attention of local kids, and (bien sur) une belle mam'selle!
We were very cosy in our little bunk beds at CPCV, despite some very strange noises in the night, and risking life & limb to get out of the top bunk in complete darkness
Friday night we all tucked in to some         French cuisine in the Rue des Bains	Back at CPCV we made use of le WiFi       to tell the world what we'd been up to
On the Monday, we went to see the Bayeux Tapestry, before stopping at Ouistreham Hypermarché for exotic French goodies. Facebook Album:- by Sandra   Flickr Album:- by Group Pool
The hospitality & Entente was most cordiale - we look forward to 2014 and hope the weather will be somewhat kinder, now our vital parts have finally thawed out!
