It was fortuitous that this morning at 11am on 11 November we happened to be standing at a WW1 memorial in a small village in Normandy as the bells of its church rang out. We were the only ones there; we presume the people of the village had their ceremony yesterday as there were flowers at the base of the statue. There were about 40 names on the memorial, many with the same surname so presumably sons and brothers from within the same families. It was raining - quite fitting really.
MOTORHOME GETAWAYS Graham, Kerriann, and their chorkie, Hugo, head off to explore Europe and the UK in their Hymer, Dickie. There is usually a theme, be it stone circles, Black Madonnas or just fabulous cheese. Let's see what it turns out to be this time.
