Double beach

morning - the pebble beach (although as the tide was in the were a disappointing number of creatures).
afternoon - Arromanches beach (made up for the mornings lack of sea creatures by serving up a crab scurrying past us)

having 2 little ones has meant that we aren't doing any of the d-day museums (can't imagine explaining war to Hannah just yet, the questions would be endless and difficult and definitely not in the holiday spirit).
must spend some time on wikipedia making up for my ignorance.
