Back to La Tranche

Our usual crossing wasn’t running but we could still catch the Portsmouth to Ouistreham ferry with a late night sailing.

It gave us chance to stretch our legs a bit before queuing to board. The view over part of the harbour to the Spinnaker Tower was well worth it.

I dug out this photo from 2015 to show Sacha the view from the glass platform towards the top of the tower.

A very evocative name for this pub (the beer wasn’t bad either)…

…and another photo from 2015 showing the pub and a ferry arriving.

Back to La Tranche means back to daily walks. I’m sure you can make out the ice droplets at the end of each spine.

At Matt & Cynthia’s, Father Christmas brought the promised palm tree (the moon came free)!

A couple of great presents from Jean & Monique: a jigsaw for Sacha made from one of their exotic holiday photos…

…and a brilliant jigsaw of Tine’s original replacement hip. Her surgeon is a family friend of J&M and he saved the hip (unbeknownst to us) for his studies/collection!

Finally Sacha pleased to see us again after his trip to Mexico and ours to the UK.
