D Day Museum

Went to the D Day Museum today in Portsmouth, after a long drive, first stop was the cafe (obviously), what a joy, lovely tin mugs for your tea and a slightly 1940's style fare on the menu. The tables had chintzy plastic tablecloths and little jars of fresh flowers, bunting and memorabilia were everywhere. What a joy!

The museum contained The Overlord Embroidery, which I had never heard about before today. It's a sort of modern day Bayeaux Tapestry about the D Day preparation and landings. Quite amazing.

The rest of the museum was interesting too, although my sister-in-law and I spent most of the time chatting....

A good day all round.
