my knight in shining armour

we made it to a lovely little village just short of limoges beautiful medieval village moated chateau etc parked on the sq by the village hall beautifully surfaced with a golden latex wish i could afford it on the drive at home , must say if i’d realised how close we were would probably have gone on to the martyrs village at oradur sur glane with its big free aire think it would take a second visit to the site for it all to sink in

Dont do it with alloys, ok on steel, the two metals are too far apart on the galvanic chain, the ally will dissolve as the electrons will flow from alloy to steel taking alloy with it, use a anti fling grease as in motorcycle chain grease.

We have friends who lived near Limoges. They told us that it was perfect in the summer, but each winter they shrunk their quarters to a couple of rooms to keep warm.
If you've never been to Oradour sur Glane, may I respectively suggest you read up about it before visiting. It's similar to Lidice, I needed to ensure my wife understand everything about the horror of the village before I took her there. Our overriding memory is of the absolute silence. No birdsong whatsoever.

I apologise for adding sad thoughts.

Ken didn't have any other lubes on the van.

It's something you've just got to see.
It should be compulsory for all newly elected members of all governments.
 
Teaching the subject of the Holocaust and the Nazi era is mandatory in German schools and in addition to the classroom curriculum, almost all students have either visited a concentration camp or a Holocaust memorial or museum.

But almost everyone involved in that terrible time has now passed away. I love travelling around today's Germany and think it a lovely country full of generous, kind, like minded people, and I can't wait to return.
