Being sick AND INJURED?!

May. 20, 2016—My Maymester focusses on the World Wars, particularly WW 2, so we had to go to Normandy, and leaving London at 2:55 am was more than justified. We spent just 2.5 days in Normandy, but there’s so much to tell you about that visit. It wasn’t the most cheerful of places to go for obvious...
