Today, there were periods of brilliant sunshine in what was mainly an overcast, windy, and rainy day! I even broke out the rain jacket. Arras is impressive, large, and very old - there is a lot to seeRead more

It looked like a cocoon for catapillars. There were heaps of them in a hedge I was walking past. What fascinated me was how much like a spider web it looks.

Ghent was a bit like home - it never stopped raining so instead of heading to another Belgium town we bailed out and headed into France to the town of Arass. It’s a pity because there was a lot toRead more

Another wonderful walk today, which means I'm exhausted! I know I took too many photos, but who cares? I am a little disturbed and confused by the disconnect between the VF app and the VF sign postsRead more
