In the autumn of 1982, we took a trip over to Le Touquet in France (about half an hour from Boulogne) to see the French family we know – Georges and Marie-Claire Lazard-Peillon’s eldest, Bertrand, had been over to stay with us in 1978 and his brother Benjamin came over a couple of years or so later. We kept in touch and when we discovered that they had moved to the north of France, we went over.
