I'm Back ...
Did you miss me?
Had a great trip - Battlefield Tours are a specialist subject, but one I love. Learning more history, and spending a few days with people who have a similar interest. We had a good guide, and a really nice group this time. In the past there has often been "the one" who really holds up the tour one way or another.
This tour was different in that we did The Battle of Waterloo (1815), the 4 Battles of Ypres (1914, 1915, 1917 & 1918) and a battle from WWII (1944) that most of us had never heard about. So learnt a lot, and took loads of photos. I will share some, but there are lots of photos of cemeteries, which unless you are pdd like me, look similar. Anyway, some will come - hopefully one set today.
This morning I had an earlier than I was expecting morning as it was a long day yesterday ... but washing is on the line, a walk done and shopping sorted ... so it's been a good Saturday, so far.
Now I shall post this, but as ever -
14 - Dessert Day! Who doesn't love dessert? Is a dessert a regular part of your evening meal, or more of a special occasion sort of thing? Or do you mostly indulge in dessert when you eat out? Do you have a favourite dessert to make? Do you have a favourite dessert to order when eating out?
I always finish a meal with fruit, but if out it will be something like a pavlova (well, that has fruit in it!!)
15 - Mushroom Day: Do you like mushrooms? Do you have a favourite type of mushroom? In what dishes are you most likely to use mushrooms?
My favourite are closed-cap ones ... and actually bought some this morning, even though I didn't know this question was coming.
Right, if there is any news I have missed, please link me ... if not, I will probably not catch up until Monday so I can get some photos sorted (and will have ironing to do later)
Hope you all had a fun week x
