We bussed over because my daughter wanted to see snow at the castle. The weather didn't really cooperate. We have been getting more rain than snow.

We are going to see if the general Normandy area is dreary also later this week.

Thanks for the compliment

We haven't been there yet so it should be nice, weather permitting. It will be a bit warmer than here. In theory.
