Joanne Harrell travelled to Ferques for the Bastille Day celebrations in July along with members of the Twinning Group. |
Every year on 14th July our twin village of Ferques, and indeed the whole of France take a day off and celebrate Bastille Day. This is always a happy occasion and a wonderful atmosphere exists right throughout the village.
This year, as usual, a group from Upchurch went over including Joanne who put on her usual excellent display of home produced jams and preserves.
Le President (chairman) of their twinning committee, Christian Finance, arranged for us to have a table in front of the Marie (village hall) but was late in coming to see us, as, not only was it his 60th birthday but he happened to be in Calais collecting a Medal, - modest chap!
The sun shone brightly all day and we met many of our old friends and made a few new ones. In fact we had "la canicule" (look it up!). Link Here
We look forward to our next visit and if you would like to join us next year just let me know.
