I am really hoping that we are going to make it to France in the van this year. We are already looking at places to visit around June, probably just up north of the country though and maybe pop into Belgium (for beer).
One reason that I really want to visit in 2016, is that it is exactly 100 years since my Grandad fought there and I have his diary for that time. I never met him, he died in the shipyards some time in the 1920's when my Dad was a baby and I didn't come along until the 1950's. So I would like to go and be somewhere that he was, exactly the same place, on exactly the same day, although 100 years on from him.
I have been intending to do this for as long as I have had the van, but thought that after my stroke that I would never make it. Hopefully it will all come together but we will have to wait and see, for now we are only looking.
