We arrived at the beautiful village of La Haye du Routot, full of timber-framed thatched cottages and were greeted our charming interpreter, Janice, her daughter India and Yves, the baker. Yves was quite a character and enjoyed the banter with children. We all had a go at making our own bread rolls, but Yves said the teachers' efforts were "NO GOOD" but the children's efforts were very good!
While the bread was proving we went across the lane to the Clog Museum. We were a bit worried it might be a boring but it was very interesting, especially when we got to on the clogs and do the fashion catwalk in our clogs. Us teachers looked very silly but we didn't care!. We went back to get our rolls and Matty Williams got his special ´tortue' tortoise-shaped roll and we all got a freshly-baked roll - delicious! We also saw the chapel that was built into the trunk of a tree (like the Faraway Tree in Enid Blyton book). Janice then very kindly joined us for lunch at McDonalds (to save us getting lost). What a fantastic morning
