These intricate details hinted at the intricate gears of fate that turn in Oz, mirroring the journey of self-discovery Christine was abou...

Normandy Food Tour is coming to Hastings, Windsor, Colchester, Norwich and Canterbury from 28th April to  1st May 2022. These are key towns in southern England that hold particular resonance for Normandy, they all have a Norman cathedral or castle and are within easy reach of transport links to Normandy.  The aim of the tour is to remind people of our shared history with Normandy, showcase Normandy’s amazing food and drink with the local public, and remind people how easy it is to get to the lovely region of Normandy.  The PR team asked Michelle to create a show-stopping Instagrammable moment for this tour. The concept is to recreate the famous Bayeux Tapestry made out of the delicatessen from Normandy such as butter and jams. @michellesugarart Recreating historic Bayeux Tapestry from of butter and jam celebrating festival of food from Normandy in Hastings. ♬ La Vie en rose - Edith Piaf
