auchonvillerssomme Posted 18 January , 2013 Share Posted 18 January , 2013 The snow in January 2011 was the final tick in the box that told us that living on the Somme wasn't really a long term option and we put the house on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Lees Posted 18 January , 2013 Share Posted 18 January , 2013 The locals seem to manage. And the snow wouldn't put me off. So we may be snowed in in the village now and then. I can think of worse places to be. And there is a lot to be said for the simpler way of life here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auchonvillerssomme Posted 18 January , 2013 Share Posted 18 January , 2013 I admire anyone who sticks it out and where we now is probably as remote as Auchonvillers, but it is England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimSmithson Posted 19 January , 2013 Share Posted 19 January , 2013 Looks like I'll be digging my way into the yard at the house in a few weeks time! I know we should not wish our life away but the next 18 months are really going to drag. Maybe see you for a beer or two in February Ken? (that's if I can get out of Boiry! ) Oh and keep the photos coming. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Tulloch-Marshall Posted 21 January , 2013 Share Posted 21 January , 2013 John – thanks – I look forward to seeing Jennie and yourself sometime next month (white, no sugar ). Tell me though, have you managed yet to replicate the one I particularly aspired to, in the snow ? > Nb – John, ref the photoshop stuff – if they did that to London Cemetery it wouldn’t be there five minutes after I next arrived on the Somme, trust me, it wouldn’t ! ............. it wouldn’t !

Frajohn Posted 21 January , 2013 Share Posted 21 January , 2013 Tom not sure what happened to the photo of London Cemetery gates, the image on flickr is corrupted as well. Will upload again in the morning. Meanwhile here is one of Thiepval in the snow. you'll need ladders for this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Tulloch-Marshall Posted 21 January , 2013 Share Posted 21 January , 2013 John – out of concern for your wellbeing I have resisted the temptation to point out … the other thing ... to the aficionados of the “Political Division”. You wouldn’t like some of them knocking at your door I’d be de-modifying that one double-quick if I were you ! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
