A few photo's taken from face book.
Tomorrow after a thirteen hour shift we set off for France and the 1st of July ceremony remembering those who fought in the battle of the Somme.
My grandfather was one of...he was one of the survivors. Vin's great uncle was not so lucky.
The first two nights we are house sitting for martin Peglar. Martin and his wife have a b&b on the Somme. Martin is also an author. They are very nice people. They have a couple of dodgy floorboards that Vin will be repairing whilst I catch up on a lot of paperwork...i must say i am looking forward to it.
We then head for Mash valley where we will stay another three nights. we will be helping prepare the crater for the ceremony.
We will then set our alarms ready for an early start at the crater on the 1st. I hope i am able to post on here daily while i am away.
Thought for today:-
"He who believes is strong. A man who doubts is weak."
James Freeman Clarke, Clergyman.
I don't know what happened here some of the photo's have been repeated and i don't seem to be able to delete them!!!!
