You Say
Seeing the battlefields was a moving experience and one that I will never forget, it really brought the Great War atrocities home. On a more positive note, the holiday was lovely and I enjoyed the wonderful countryside and surrounding towns and villages and delicious food. What with it being so close to home I can easily see myself returning here.- Arthur
