Stand to Attention!

More commemorations today, this time for the end of 2WW. As usual there was one in each village here but more unusually we ended  in the mountains which meant that we stayed on for lunch. There were 25 us around the table and Ken was chuffed to be seated by the Mayor. From here we went up the new "road" and over the border, visiting the "Retirada" monument on the way. Of course, there was a free history lesson thrown in with André filling in the bits that I missed out. Carried on down into the village, looked at the other monuments and had a beer. Once back home, Michel came around for an apéro and so ended yet another day in Paradise.
