Business day in Mons today, washing clothes, new rubber bits for walking poles (they have a name and the first person to add it to this site wins £300,000), food purchasing fir the next 3 nights in the woods of France (we cross the border tomorrow) and blister plaster bulk buying.

Life was all good after a fantastic hummus fest at a Lebanese restaurant.

It remains warm and sunny as it is back
Home I believe.

To add a sexual dimension to the blog – my bald patch got sunburnt today. I know the women like this but try retain your dignity girls.

So, on to France. I hope the poor things can cope with what I do to their beautiful language. It will if nothing else amuse them.
