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.

Funny story Jan but the trip wasn't wasted with such wonderful scenery! Poor Madame Smith, .....at least she found some treasures! So glad you are all safe and sound, terrible news from Nice.

Keep the 20th August free
Hi Jan, I'm following your blog and it looks like you're having a wonderful time! I've been holding off saying anything but I can't help it anymore and this is the only way I know how to contact you. Well, can you guess? Warren and I are now engaged :) This happened on July 2nd. Our engagement party is happening Sunday afternoon on August 20th. There will be an invite waiting for you when you get home. Hope you can come. Looking forward to a good catch-up, which will probably have to happen after the engagement party though. Keep safe with the rest of your travels and keep having a wonderful time! Blessings, Jane xo
