A picnic, a swim in the sea and a game of bat and ball \u2013 some of the simple pleasures of the annual beach picnic, one of my favourite Anglophone events, held this year on 11<\/span>th<\/span> August.  It was a cool blustery day, but at least the sun was shining.  <\/span><\/p>\n

We gathered on the beach at Gouville at midday, 14 adults and 3 children, to enjoy our picnics, sharing around some of our goodies<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of us played bat and ball, both singles and doubles, others played beach darts, the children larked around in the sand, and the rest sunbathed, chatted and relaxed, all happy to spend some time together at the seaside.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a very enjoyable afternoon  and reminded us how lucky we are to live near these fabulous Normandy beaches.<\/p>\n
