  2. I will go to Beaulieu, but to the Autojumble, as every year since more than 20 years. I didn't even know what "Simply Classic" was until now ! Edit : I can't find any details about this show on Beaulieu' website.

      A couple of years ago we went to Tyne Cot cemetery, my girlfriends great uncle is buried there, he was wounded on 01/07/16 with the Sheffield City Battalion, but sadly died the following year at Passchendale. When you visit these places it is very moving.
