Day 5. Friday 14 June:  Today was Bobbie's birthday! We sang Happy Birthday at breakfast and then celebrated at a Happy Hour that evening after our arrival in Dieppe, complete with flowers and chocolates from the hotel management!

The day started from Amiens, with a local guide who was brilliant, as we toured the Somme for nearly 5 hours, in a particularly significant crusade for Rob Polain and Margaret Kimber.  Rob was able to visit the memorial to his grandfather at Villers Bretonneux - the first member of his family to do so.
From the Somme we headed towards the coat - Abbeville, Le Treport and then Dieppe.
