And finally for tonight, Private Blackall, for KarenM. Someone had left a little flag by every Canadian grave.

It will be Tuesday or Wednesday before I post any more. Off to bed now - I know it's early, even in France, but I have a busy day of shopping tomorrow before catching the boat home. There is wine to be bought - and a supply of olive oil to last six months! See you soon!

Hello Jen,

I'm glad to hear that you have had an enjoyable time, and especially that you were so lucky in finding your Great Uncle so quickly.

Thank you just doesn't express how grateful I am for your endeavours on this trip. I'm not sure right now how I feel about seeing the photos of Benjamin Woolley's grave, I have a tear in my eye as I type and am having trouble seeing the keyboard at the moment. They really are exceptional shots, so clear and very professional. I think I need to go make a cup of tea - will be back soon.

Jen - you are an absolute star!!
