Charleville Another interesting blog Bill. JAnet and I loved the "secret US base" tour which operates out of the visitor information centre. Incredible to think that so many US servicemen had been stationed there during world war II. Our plans to make another trip have gone by the board I'm afraid, at least for next year. Our daughter Rebecca has moved to Lyon in France so we'll be visiting her family instead of hitting the road. When, if ever, do you plan to go home? It looks to me like it might be easy for you to just keep on travelling. Talk to you soon
Thank you Lovely to hear from you and thank you for your comments I'm sure you will hit the road again in the meantime enjoy France. Will e'mail you shortly
