Dolls houses in progress

As you can see Vin has been working hard on his dolls houses...i think they are really good and thought i would post photo's as they develop.

France and Belgium

Once again we visited Belgium and France during the week of the Armistice. I was looking forward to posting daily but my wireless connection let me down.

I have a busy couple of days ahead followed by two long days at work so my intentions are to post daily from Tuesday following the holiday a day at a time starting in Kent.

Here are some updated photo's of Varlet farm where we stay in Belgium. Whilst we are on the Somme we stay at Mash Valley B&b, in La Boiselle.

As you can see Varlet farm has it's own museum, and Charlotte is always happy to take you round and tell you the farms history....as long as you don't leave it until the last minute..Charlotte is a very busy and popular lady. I have added a few photo's of the farm from both inside and out, there is a lot more to the farm. The photo's taken at the back of the farm show some of the shells that are regularly found when farming for crops as well as the remains of a cellar that was in German hands until the Hood division took it in 1917. Sheila is stood next to one of the shells that has been found.

Sunflowers

A whole field of sunflowers for Nichola's birthday tomorrow.

Today's thought:-

"To do something, however small, to make others happier and better, is the highest ambition, the most elevating hope, which can inspire a human being".
