Bayeux got a really good soaking tonight when an almighty thunderstorm broke at about 8 pm, just as we found a restaurant to eat and shelter in. it was a really good downpour following on the heels of a torrid afternoon.
During the afternoon I located the nursing home where my brother resides. I also located my brother and was able to take him out in his wheelchair for and hour for a drink at a cafe in the centre of town.
His speech is a bit indistinct but we managed and enjoyed the time together. Tomorrow I’ll take him out again, weather permitting.
Something I’ve noticed about Bayeux is that a lot of English dog owners seem to holiday here. Another of my brothers brings his dogs, but he’s Scottish.
There are also a lot of single English ladies of a certain age wafting around in clouds of lavender and camomile tea.
Nice place.

I'm glad you were able to take your brother out. My husband spent a year in hospitals and rehab and never got to go out except in an ambulance.

@xFiacre Yes. We both had a horrible year. He was home one day in that year, he fell 3 times and had to go back to the hospital and then rehab. It broke my heart to see him go again.
