Dijon Cathedral
This is a magnificient Cathedral without some of the extra glitz of Notre Dame or Sacre Coeur in Paris.
Barging in Europe
Penny and Dave headed off to Europe in April 2010. As well as sightseeing in France and visiting Bernadette and Liz in the Channel Islands, we bought an old 107 year old barge. We will use it to explore France and possibly the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and other parts of Europe.

The Kerr adventurers are off again. After several forays into the Pacific, we are off to Europe to explore the Canals and Rivers of several countries- starting in France given that two of our daughters live in the Channel Islands, close to the Coast of France.
