seamonkey is an unknown quantity at this point
Last month I stayed just east of paris with 3 old aunties of my late french husband, they told me how the Germans came and put them out of their farmhouse. Dad was fighting in the war mum was home with 8 children one of them a baby. They went to live in the nearby forest digging a deep trench and living in the trench for 2 months. The officer in charge told the mum that after the war he would be back and required the house for his family to have holidays in. I slept in the room that the officer had claimed for himself. These aunties allowed me to video them telling the story, soon as I have edited it I will subtitle it and put it on the internet for anyone who wants to to watch.
