A lovely walk in the ravine with Ellie, she chases all over the place. He feet were a bit muddy but she had fun.

We are all proud that my grandfather’s name, Walter Edgar Daniel, will be read out at the Tower Ceremony today in the Roll of Honour. Such a shame I can’t be there. This is the monument at Thiepval, close to where he lost his life.

The electricity went off mid morning and was off until 3pm, so any hope of seeing/listening to the ceremony from the Tower lost. I will have to download it from somewhere. Very disappointing. We knew it was going to be a long power cut and so decided to go out to lunch. It’s over a year since we have been to Blue Song and since then they have built a new restaurant. It was more of a cafe last time we went but looks very impressive now and the food was good, reasonably priced and the Turkish coffees and water were free of charge. So, the 11th hour (1.00pm our time) I was sitting with my thoughts looking over the Med.
There were two young boys there and I was fascinated watching them fish with a piece of bamboo. I doubt they have a tablet to go home to (as our grandkids seem to!) I have to say Rhys takes the kids crabbing and they love it. Come to think of it, Torin has taken the twins fishing too.
