A relaxing romantic day reminiscing with Jackie.

And I finished Russell Braddon’s biography Nancy Wake or the “Little White Mouse”. She was an Australian girl who travelled to Europe in the late 1930s, married a Marseilles businessman, and then at the outbreak of WWII helped found an escape route for allied soldiers, then fled France herself in 1942, only to return a year later as a trained SOE agent to lead a force of 7,000 Maquis in the Massif Central. An amazing story of bravery and self-sacrifice.
