Hi, my blog is a record of our year(ish) long tour of Europe, an idea sprung on me by my husband last year. A word of warning to anyone reading this who doesn't know me, I have an inability to use one word when a hundred will do, in fact this blog is the antithesis of Twitter! It also includes EXTENSIVE use of the words beautiful, pretty, nice, gorgeous, tasty, lovely and wonderful amongst others! I'll attempt to use some different words occasionally to ring the changes.
Journey to Bergues from Aalter
What a well preserved windmill.
A cute little van, great advertisement.
I’m not sure where we’re going but are we nearly there yet?
Arriving in Lo-Reninge
I love the surprises that keep popping up in the towns we’ve visited.
There were some very grand buildings in Lo-Reninge.
The square where the school coach had been collecting the children.
Lo-Reninige
The cafe, Gasthof De Zwaan, where we had our wonderful meal.
Bread vending machine in Lo-Reninge.
We were intrigued to see this plaque……….
with what appears to have a poem written on it, unfortunately for nosy old me I have no idea what it says.
Ooh! A green windmill.
A windmill on a turntable.
Aah, a teddy bear, we’ve seen some interesting uses for hay bales during this trip.
Hooray, we’ve arrived at Bergues, I hope there’s room at the aire.
Follow that motorhome!
I love the red motorhome.
Did he REALLY need to park that close?
A sentry on look out.
Time to explore the fortified town of Bergues.
The view from our motorhome this morning.
Bye bye Aalter.
I love the way the trees are trained.
A peaceful pastoral scene.
We thought we were leaving Aalter however……..
after unintentionally exploring the suburbs……
following the dual carriageway………..
and squeezing under a low bridge……….
are we going to make it? ……..
SURPRISE! We’re back in Aalter! …….
Just to make sure our nerves are totally frayed the SAT NAV does what it does best and makes us leave Aalter via a very narrow road!
