A car dealer has just opened in the middle of town. Seems a strange place as it was a food delivery place before and all the other car dealers are in Arrecife.

Friends of friends have a house in Normandy. After staying there, I read some memoirs of a British Sergeant, about D Day and subsequent fighting.

Looking on a map, he would have passed close by. It's an odd feeling.

Similarly, there were two battles near here during the English civil war. I only realised recently when looking at a map of the First Battle that troops were only 500m from here. And I can see from here the castle which was under seige during the Second.

Being in Normandy around D-Day week is very evocative. Lots of houses displaying old photos in their gardens etc. Incredibly respectful.

Yeah, I can't think who it is.

I'm pretty sure about, Whittam, McCallen, Hislop and Foggy.

Brian Morrison rode that bike, but I've no idea what he looks like, or if that's him?

I don't see it. Hard to be sure.
