IN FRANCE

Unable to do blog for a few days, no internet, visited Sittingbourne, 23 Coombe st where I grew up and walked around to the old ruined church I used to play in, still very spooky!!! Richard had a Knickerbocker glory from the coffee shop in Sittingbourne that mum used to buy us, brought back soo many memories..  Now in France lovely weather, staying at wonderful bed a breakfast, very friendly people who speak English, my french is not as bad as I thought, roads are much better than England. Have now visited lots of war graves which is very moving, visited carls great great Uncles grave in Convoy small grave yard on the Somme.  Richard laid a wreath and we all cried.  All the memorials and grave sites are well looked after with flowers on each grave.  miss everyone at home.  Hope all is well love you all Penny

  3. Hey guys, glad to see you are fitting so much into each day. Still very jealous of your travels!

    We're back from Thailand. No relaxation had though! 2 very busy and very demanding kids ensured that our time was spent with them doing what they wanted! Not to worry.

    I considered jumping on a plane in KL and joining you guys for a few days....didn't happen though (obviously). Apparently I have to go back to work rather than spend my time travelling the globe.

    O.K. had better go. The afformentioned 2 kids are calling!

    Richard, Mandy, Austin & Ryleigh.
