We met Oliver and Octavia at the Norfolk Brides wedding fair at Drayton Old lodge last year; we hit it off straight away so, when they invited us to join them at their french beach house in Normandy for a few days we didn't hesitate to say yes.
Years ago, Octavia's grandfather used to go caravanning in France and one year the plot of land he used to pitch up on came up for sale. He bought the land and built a beach house and it has remainded within the family and enjoyed for summer holidays ever since.
The house is full of nik-naks collected over three generations. The walls are full of art made by Octavia's grandmother and sculptures made by the family over the years.

We spent a few days checking out the local area and Octavia and Oliver took us to some of their favourite sports so we could take some photos of them together.

Oliver and Octavia really spoilt us during our stay with them. Waking up to fresh brioche for breakfast and delicious nibbles and champaign in the evenings.
Rob even tried Oysters for the first time - and liked them!
