Trip back home.

A extensive breakfast was promised and boy did they deliver. Cereal, bread, omelette, apple juice (squeezed from their apples), strawberries, local hams and cheeses, tea and coffee. Our hosts encouraged us to make some rolls for lunch as there was so much food.

View of the garden from my window...

We bade them farewell and returned briefly to Ypres to take better photos of the Menin gate and to buy souvenirs, well not me!

An hour back to Calais and a trip around the wine hypermarket. Then onto the ferry and the 90 minute trip across the channel back to Blighty. I set the controls of the Mondeo for the heart of the sun and we arrived back chez moi at around 1700.

A lovely trip, loads of history, really pleased we did it.

Lest we forget.

Footnote: I was half way through watching the Lions play their first natch in New Zealand when my phone rang, an unknown number. To my delight it was Diane from the Ulster tower cafe saying that she had found my wallet complete with cards and money. It is now winging its way back to me by courier. Happy days (the lions won as well!).
