an area of land, smaller than a forest,
that is covered with growing trees.

Pheasant Wood, at Fromelles in France is the site

of several mass graves…

 

…of Australian and Allied soldiers from World War I.

MGW’s uncle was buried in one of those graves

and his remains only identified just before

my 2017 visit.

My kind of window shopping in

Place des Heros

in

Arras,

France…

The Arras Saturday Market provides

another type of window shopping…

 

…I found a necklace on this stall which

I thought My Wife might like.

She did!

Discovered in a Melbourne Laneway,

I have often wondered how anyone

could wear these shoes.

 

A window near the end of the Football Season

when Geelong Football Club was highly

fancied to win the Grand Final.

 

After lunch window shopping in Murano,

Italy

I have a habit of buying some clothing

when I travel as a mement.

This shop was the only one which

stocked clothing in my size.

Therefore, I do LOVE Paris

Botanically known as a Callistemon,

though it is commonly called

boTTlebrush.

 

MuTTon on the hoof.

Unfortunately, I think, this is called lamb

by many retailers and still more consumers

accept that it is lamb.

 

LeTTer box.

About 25 years ago,

along with help from number 2 son,

I made us a new mail / leTTer box.

The new owners apparently did not care

for their almost new mailbox.

The World War I,

Somme BaTTlefields

from the

Villers-Bretonneux

Australian Memorial.

I think this is an OTTer…

…having a relaxing trip along

Alaska’s

Glacier Bay.

I found this while searching for the

Apple Store in London

At the Masked Ball

in Arras France

How a Yorkshire woman reacts to an ultimatum

I saw this sign in Fremantle, Western Australia.

And I have yet to discover why Bicycle Helmets are

compulory while travelling to Rottnest (Island)

which can only be accessed by boat or ferry.

*****

I had heard of the Coke sign at King’s Cross in Sydney.

 

The Argus was a newspaper of 50 or 60 years ago.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission maintains

Cemeteries of World Wars 1 & 2 in France and Belgium

in impeccable condition.

 

Whangamata

New Zealand

I think Dr Snip has snipped his last,

for this sign is no longer.

 

One of the better signs from

the Pub Wall series.

Our first, morning coffee break

in Europe was at

La Place

in Belgium.

La Place displayed a wide range of food

for locals and tourists alike.
