Au Revoire We have enjoyed your photos. You have obviously enjoyed your holiday.
John and I have just arrived in London for a Summer with Michelle and family. Xx
Delicious looking delights I really don't know how you keep your stunning figure Jan! Everything looks so delicious. I hope Wild Dog Winery lives up to all this when we eat there on 27th!
Safe travels home. Jess and Tim were at Charles de Gaulle when three unattended suitcases were taken away and detonated. I am very relieved to now have them safely here in boring Yarragon! XX
Watering of the mouth My oh! my, Jan, my gastric juices are like a waterfall….. What a wonderful experience reading your travel blogs, makes me feel like I'm there in my imagination. What delightful memories you are making together, so many poignant ones and fun ones too. Continue traveling safely and make many more special memories to conjure up in years to come.
Cheers to all. Pam XX and Woofs from Bruno

Just lovely... Hey Jan - just love your photos - love the doorways and windows and flower boxes and bicycles ... just all so 'French'. Interesting about the storks ...and then there was one! Enjoy the last few days in mustard town ... love to all xxx
Cakes Glad Mabel spotted that weed! Haven't had any cake photos from you for a while?
Watched the Pozieres service yesterday and saw Judy's Tim lay a wreath. Gorgeous!
Missing your Blog! After getting behind on your Blogs, but now up, to date I am looking forward to the next installment. Have thoroughly enjoyed travelling around France with you all. Where to next??
Spooky Another spooky moment my friend! Have just returned from a Shrine event with guest speakers talking about Fromelles and Pozieres. They mentioned the troops travelling by train to the Western Front through beautiful, and welcoming, French villages. Very different, and far more treacherous than Gallipoli. ....and then here's Mabel's dad's diary extract describing that trip. Love to you both. xxxxx
Hello over there It looks like your the only four people in this part of France (the rest are probably at the Tour de France). Lovely scenic villages and countryside; great photos and story, Jan. Of course, making the wild assumption you're having champagne picnics ... enjoy! xxx
Beautiful Seeing your beautiful photos and reading about your enlightening experiences, makes me feel reassured about my two grandchildren travelling in the same country. The wether is also being kind to them and they are having an emotional - if somewhat draining - experience amongst the historical horror, but current beauty of the Western Front. Stay safe and enjoy!

Bonjour Très bien cuit mes amis. Les soufflés look étonnants - nous pourrions presque les goûter. Think we may need to dry mum out when you get home ;). So glad you are looking after yourselves xxx
My grandfather landed on the shores of Gallipoli 25 April 1915. It's an honour to accompany my darling 90 year old mum (his daughter) to attend the commemoration ceremony. She's a grandmother and great-grandmother. I'm a grandmother...Grandmas in Gallipoli.... Now, 14 months after this incredible and humbling journey, we go to France with very dear friends. Friends in France...... full info

Hi Mabel ... I'd take a tiramisu over a snail ANY time! Safe travels home ... remember, have that champagne!
