“hpy” took a nice initiative and suggested that we should try to meet between bloggers. So last Saturday “hpy” (Hélène), “cergie” (Lucie), “l6” (Lyliane) and “PHO” (Peter) met, together with the less active bloggers André, Patrick and Michel. 
Here you can see, from left to right, Lyliane, Lucie and Hélène.
We met at a place on the Seine river between Rouen and Le Havre, called Caudebec (name of Viking origin; in Swedish Kallebäck = cold stream). We started with a very nice lunch also enjoying a view on the Seine. You can imagine what the major conversation subject was. Many blogger names were quoted.
Caudebec-en-Caux is a beautiful place and we of course had to do some sightseeing. The church in gothic style is wonderful (“The most beautiful chapel in my kingdom” said King Henry IV) and the organ and stained glass windows are there from the very beginning = 15th / 16th century.
We felt happy to be together and Hélène and André kindly invited us to their home in Fécamp, some 45 km or 30 miles away, on the coast. After visiting their home and garden (of course photographing the flowers), we went for a tour of Fécamp, including the port and the surrounding cliffs. Fécamp is also the home of the Benedictine liquor and the building you can see is the “Benedictine Palace”. 
We still wished to prolong and it all ended up with oysters, shrimp, fish… at Héléne’s and André’s home until late in the night.
I was invited to stay overnight and on Sunday morning we made a tour of the beautiful Normandy surroundings including the famous cliffs and the natural arch at Etretat.
We all wished to meet again and if possible also with other bloggers. Great thanks again to Hélène for the good initiative!!
(The photos where I appear were taken by Lucie’s husband Patrick.)
