There were a lot of things going on in 1962 - we were in reach of long range missiles, should they be fired from Cuba, and I was expecting our last child, - but there, that's a different story. My husband and I got caught in a protest march in Lille, after arriving off the Chunnel and I must say the police were kind and extricated us.Hildredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420791064923078834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-920306086483142224.post-19339690230534967702015-11-03T13:05:17.281-05:002015-11-03T13:05:17.281-05:00Fascinating historical post and photos for Q

They were being pursued by a gendarmes and we couldn't extricate ourselves from the cordon. It was only my bad french that finally persuaded them that we really were innocent honeymooners and we were finally let go!
