I have posted it simply because I thought it was a stunning photograph. It comes from the CWGC 2023 calender. Gorgeous!!!! Could it be Bedford House?? M.

Looking at online images of Bedford House, I would say that you might well be correct there Marilyne. Good shout; thanks 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 4 February , 2023 Admin Share Posted 4 February , 2023 Not exactly where is this, but spotted this sign in a CWGC cemetery this week, and disturbed a few ladybirds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm feeling battered by Michelle's outstanding expertise in this thread! Off out to the Somme on Tuesday for a flying visit to check on the house. No time for battlefield stuff, other than travelling my oft-travelled path from Bapaume via Flers, Longueval and Guillemont. Wish me luck with all this industrial action in France.

Admin Michelle Young Posted 6 February , 2023 Admin Share Posted 6 February , 2023 Didn’t have any issues when over last week. Able to get petrol ok, used Routes Nationale so no idea if there’s any problems on the motorways. Food prices had gone up a lot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fattyowls Posted 15 February , 2023 Author Share Posted 15 February , 2023 (edited) Those of us who remember the days of 35mm film may recognise what has gone on here. This is a double exposure as a result of not winding the film on far enough, but where are the two places? Pete.

Pompelle, just outside Rheims was the first stop and the second was just up the road. There is a Hollywood aspect, and a very singular British connection. Pete.
