Thank you Ina. It was sudden as we had been cycling around the Enclave Du Pape the day before. The good (?) thing was that we were spared long drawn out illnesses and dementia that so many other people have to deal with.
Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!

That must have been a terrible shock for you, Stuart. You are of course right in that your wife didn't have to endure any nasty illness or disease, or as you say, dementia; and she died on holiday, which is something people often say is the way they'd like to leave this earth, doing something they really enjoy. But for you it must have been devastating, not just having to deal with the emotional stress but the practicalities of being abroad and having to deal with all of that. My heart goes out to you.
Take care Stuart.
