We dispersed late last night after a busy final morning in Normandy. We’ve had a wonderful time with our enthusiastic, engaged guests talking in all things Sword Beach.

We love that we cap our groups at 20 people. It gives us a chance to really bond as a group and enable guests to have a proper discourse with their guides over the course of the trip. Alexandra Churchill is determined to maintain a ratio of 1 staff member to every 10 customers and avoid massive buses🤘🏼

News soon of what’s to follow with Stephen Fisher so give us a follow to stay in touch. 💪🏼

Instead of writing about elections I lolled at a dumb politician & seized Barnard Castle back for people who were more interesting there throughout history. It’s an article with vikings, Mel Gibson, the Crimean War, grumpy hermits & Saving Private Smith.
