| Standing strong |
As we look out over the sea to Britain from the Aire at Arromanche-Les-Bains where the allied forces landed on D Day in 1944 the sky is blue, the sea is calm, and the air is crisp and cool.

| I didn’t know what they were either |
If it wasn’t for the mulberry harbours dotting the shoreline it would be difficult to imagine what it would have looked like during that time with hundreds of battle ships heading towards the beaches.
Nearby there is a memorial garden with a series of statues of soldiers and steel spikes. It was dedicated last year for the 75th anniversary of the landing. Poppy wreaths still lay at their feet, left over from the commemorations.

| Powerful piece |
Earlier we had a run on the beach and Hugo was incredibly excited to feel sand under his feet again. To add to his fabulous day we let him think he was taking Dickie for a drive.

Don’t tell him, Pike.
