Be good practice for the Italy trip later in the year and be better than stuck over here for the holiday :D:DThis is the Franco-British memorial one of the places Im looking to visit on this trip, if you want to go anywhere in particular stick a post up
The names of 73,367 soldiers are engraved in the stone of these pillars, a most impressive and moving memorial…
Thiepval has the great Memorial to the Missing, (the name of men who died in the fighting in this area and whose bodies have never been identified). The vast Memorial with its arched pillars , designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and inaugurated by the Prince of Wales in July 1932, stands on the highest point of the ridge obove the River Ancre. It is visible from many miles around ; wreath or private tributes are laid here by visitors from all over the world and a ceremony is held here on 1 July each year, to commemorate the opening of the Battle of the Somme.
The Memorial to the Missing of the Somme is a focal point for more British visitors to the battlefields, particularly educational groups.
Not sharin’ with ginge though, cant be dealin’ with him in his tights, so someone come to my rescue and share with me. I’m ugly and I snore, surely thats incentive enough?
Hegarty says you can share with us refined people if you want! She’s going in with maize - so if you dont mind sharing with ray (refined character you’ve met before) you can come in with us! - (tent closed now!)
The offers are streaming in now… I’m not sure I’d be able to stomach the testosterone in a tent with two blokes with ‘birds’, I’d feel inferior on my triple.:DHow do the new cans look on the bird mate? Got any photos?
Oh now I get it, I was wondering who Mrs Palmer was until Nige just explained it to me, well us girlies never have to bring Mrs Palmer with us, we have battery operated assistance, less effort don’t you know.
Hey Paul you’re tent is pretty full already by the sounds of it, if I start another one Nige and I can have all the single blokes (yes there is an ulterior motive in there somewhere) in with us. Do you think I will be allowed to tuck them in every night? Ooh roll on May bank hol, interviews for our tent to be held nearer the time.
I am sure I can put up with steve for & great weekend away, I had work with him for 3 years , its a bit like going away with victor meldrew.Should be a laugh?I not saying your old steve.
For info on stuff in the area search for picardy/somme tourism gives directions, stories, museums and sites to see from the Great War will be very moving to visit some of these places
Anyone else interested in coming will now have to book their own places you only need £50 for deposit on a tent
