Where's the tank gone?



     Driving up to Roscoff yesterday, to take the ferry to Plymouth, we were disappointed to find our last route marker had disappeared. Ever since we have been coming to France, this American WW Two tank has been standing outside a war museum on the outskirts of Roscoff. True, the museum has long since closed and the tank has been attacked by scrap thieves, losing its tracks and various detachable parts. Now it has gone altogether, this is a photo I took a few years ago, even then it was in a sad state. I do hope it's gone to a good home, not to the scrapyard. We shall miss its presence at the side of the road as we arrive in, or leave Roscoff. The old order changeth......
  Bye for now, resting after the long trip.
