There was 3 boards with descriptions and information of the process, 1 from a young Jewish woman, 1 from a US soldier who liberated the camp and 1 from an historian describing it all. Not a pleasant read really.

Anyway, Tunisia for us this year, haven't been since that idiot brassed people up on the beach. Looking forward to it.
Always remember, Tunisia 🇹🇳 As it was the first foreign country I went on holiday to….we stayed for a week in a place called Hammamet. Must have been 1972 or 73 and we went with Clarksons. My Dad seems to recall the cost as being £39, for us all (family of four)……..no wonder Clarksons went bust !

Planning to go there in November :tup: And going Dublin in September, so won't have much left 🙈

Going Scarborough and Whitby in two weeks and then Blackpool in July for two days. Never actually been to Blackpool lol, I feel like everyone has.

Hoping to go Brazil in 2025, so trying to save for that.

Good age mate.

We lost Felix (16) & Heidi (18)

Casper who wasn't a sickly cat like our previous two was only 14yo when he passed away.

Good old Sooty. :moggy:

Currently away in Arenal D’en Castell on the Northern coast of Menorca, superb views over the bay from our hotel and blistering temperatures 30-33c each day. Thank god for air conditioned rooms.
