Its nearly 'gooey gnome' time and we are in Belgium near the French border for our last but one night away. Hope it has stopped raining at home. We visited Ypres to learn something about the 1st WW battles and the huge loss of life that occurred around the Flanders fields. The whole area is a memorial to the soldiers who died here. The Messen gate is just one example and has the names of the 54,000 commonwealth British soldiers who were lost and never found. It made the Daily Express headline of the day 'Killer storm hits Britain - 4 dead' seem completely irrelevant.
Sorry it is still rain at home!! i thought you were going to bring the good weather back with you.
