The end….or is it…?

Saturday, August 4th, 2007
 
       

so its 2.20 am and we’re all doing our best to help the funds of the Peace Village by spending euros in the bar…again.

What a day though. We got to the end, all finds off site, records written and drawn and one happy famer saying “anné prochaine”… which seems to mean we have to come back.
_
Seriously, after work we attended the Last Post at the Ploegsteert memorial and Tori and Ralph laid a wreath for the team. Tori’s great uncle is on the memorial and Ralph, from the US is the historian of the German Army 1914 to 19. Very moving.

Claude did us proud with dinner after and we presented him with a decorative shell case, trench art.
_
Enough from me…

Good night, we did it…we win…great team, great weather, great results.
