Rodin....

We have had 2 extra ring-ins this week from Germany (friends of the Girls) so busy & loud.... took in the Ridin Museum and gerden that everyone loved and explored the Monmartre area. This is our last week in Paris. We have leased a car and are setting forth next weekend to meander South through the Loire Valley and Massif Central regions to end up in Aubais near Nime and new home. We have a week with some friends staying from UK then kids in school.......

Villers-Bretonneux....

We drove to Villers-Bretonneux North of Paris in the Somme today to see the Australian Memorial to the over 60,000 Australian men who died on the Western Front in WW1. My great Gandfather, Frank Walton, was one of the 10,000 men who fought there and died on 5 April 1918 and was never recovered but is remembered with his name on the memorial...... Its a beautiful site on top of a hill they fought to occupy - the visit amplifies the utter uselessness of war as its avoidable consequences....

Other Stuff

Some images including amazing Reims Cathedral windows and beautiful skull painting....
