The Pointless Page

At the risk of teaching Grandmother to suck eggs, regarding first World War battlefields, try to see Newfoundland Park on the Somme battlefield. Search out 'The Danger Tree'.

If time allows, the town of Albert with its museum is well worth a visit.

If you have never done the battlefields before, it is a sobering experience, and you will want to go back.

Thanks for the suggestions, Albert is on the list as is Beaumont Hamel. First time doing the WWI Battlefields, did some of the Normandy  beaches a few years ago.

Thanks Kj, safe journey to you too. Been a shorter trip this time just 5 weeks but need to be back to let sister get off to Australia to see her son. Will probably go away again come November once they come back, providing OH doesn't  have to have an Op on his shoulder.

Went up to the sailing club today. No one else turned up as the weather this morning was foul! Pointless journey!

Saw lots of vans on the road, is it something to do with the forecasted weather?

We also saw lots of MHs and caravans on the road today, I think a lot of we wrinklies are heading homeward now the weather is not so good, and Sunday is usually a good day to travel.

Also Sundays will be busy with weekenders heading home as well as those who have been somewhere for a full week or so.

And of course, lots of we pensioners head off on a trip on a Sunday to avoid the busier weekend days.

Yes, we will be off next Sunday for our next trip. Like a lot of people that's when we prefer to travel. It is quieter on the roads and also when we arrive on site as the 'weekenders' have left. 😊

That's one of the reason we often travel on a Sunday too, Millie, as we did today. It was pointless trying to see any of the scenery though as it was very mistly, drizzly and there was lots of road spray too.

It seems like no-one's posting on that thread anymore! Also some of the posts on here are off topic! It seems then that the pointless thread is no longer pointless!

What's that got to do with pointless?

I couldn't sleep because of too much pointlessness on this forum so I got up and made myself a cheese and pickle sandwich plus a cup of tea. 

Last night at the band concert we heard s soloist playing "Gabriel s Oboe", such a beautiful piece of music. Very calming.
