Due to the French labor strikes, where angry protesters have been cutting off gas supplies to gas stations and blocking highways at toll booths all over France, Daddy and I have made the difficult decision to postpone our trip to Normandy for D-Day 2016. I'm very sorry we won't be able to meet with our old friends and make new ones, and that we won't be able to do what we love (and look forward to all year). However, we will still try to make it to Normandy later this year, either this summer or even in the autumn. If and when we do that I will write about it here on my blog.

Have you ever noticed that whenever the French strike, it's always the poor, innocent wooden pallets and tires that are the first victims?

Out of gas.
