It was a beautiful day - started out hazy, but turned into what you see in the picture.
Couldn't be better for climbing 226 steps ... a little more than the 199 to Whitby Church and Abbey. The Panorama was well worth visiting also. They had a good "sound illustration" to supplement the paintings and the modeled dead horses and maimed men; I don't have my dictionary - but you heard "the sound horses make", gunfire, screams and shouting and even bag pipes. I got myself a good road map of Belgium and Luxembourg for future reference. There are tons of good things to say for sat-navs, but I can feel mine is about to make me a map-illiterate. I need maps also so see the big picture. From there I set my sat-nav to avoiding motorways and had the good luck to go to a couple of picturesque villages. Belgium is really an attractive country - clean, good infrastructure, sights everywhere - and the nicest petunia arrangements loampposts and anywhere else they can hang them - even a private home is a sight and it now comes with smiling Belgians.  Of course, all of this ate my time, so I found a place for the night in Gelsenkirchen in the Ruhr area of Germany - home to Schalke 04 (soccer team for those who are not fans). @ Ted: Please give "A" a kiss on the cheek from me. I miss her immense historical knowledge and her as well. @ Guitar Man: Yes, the sound is a little "stuffed" ... it's far, far better live  |

Evening all
Actually my birthday is tomorrow on St Michael and all the Angels although that is hardly a description of me. Part of it I shall spend with cousins at Worthing where one of them shares the same birthday but with a good few years later. I have, however, put a a bottle of champers in the fridge for when I get back to celebrate the fact that I've survived another decade. Thanks for the kind thoughts. It's a shame I haven't had a chance to meet you all since the big gathering in Regents Park. Did a bit of shopping this morning and reckon that it must be the hottest day of the year so far. |

Good Morning!
Dewey dawn, calm and cool - it will be as wonderful weather as it grew into yesterday - where travelling north through Germany was a pleasure because the leaves had begun to turn so the Autobahn actually looked pretty and it did not feel boring at all. |
