Trudge around one wet and windy weekend - in fact in torrential rain - there was only myself and husband daft enough to do it - but at least we had the place to ourselves.<BR/><BR/>It was brilliant with headphones that had a commentary from people who 'were there' at the time. From soldiers to the entourage that went with them - and the noise of the battle and cries of those injured. <BR/><BR/>Made me almost cry it seemed so real.<BR/><BR/>And now you are going to tell me that it never happened there. LOL<BR/><BR/>That I got cold and wet for hours all for nothing.<BR/><BR/>That my mascara ran down my face all for nothing.<BR/><BR/>Oh know - I don't want to re-learn all my history now!<BR/><BR/>Wonderful to read your experiences and see you lovely pansies -just planted some out myself yesterday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33215622.post-6787238456492696502007-09-19T22:21:00.000+01:002007-09-19T22:21:00.000+01:00I love history too Ruth, wish I'd paid more attent...I love history too Ruth, wish I'd paid more attention in school.
