Northern France
Somme War Memorials
This serene place belies the horror of the events that it recalls. The tragedy of the loss of life of so many digs deeply into the soul of those of us who see it.
The immense Australian Memorial has 11,000 names of Australian MIAs and those "known to God", with "no known grave". The carefully tended lawns, the headstones over the 1089 graves, bring a mixture of emotions.
Northern France
This is the first motorhome; a Clubman AutoSleeper on a Volkswagen chassis.
It took us to wonderful places.....but
..it was a little cramped, so here is the trade in for purchase of "The Slab" (a Bessacarr on a Fiat Ducato with a 2.8litre turbo diesel engine).
Lots more room....
...and a huge kitchen with shower and hand basin at the back.
