We’ve recently spent a week in the Ardennes, Belgium. Specifically, in a miniscule village about 8 miles outside Bastogne. We rented a ground floor apartment in a barn conversion with thick stone walls, tiled floors and those continental shutters that the sons still insist on

Got to train for arm/shoulder strength to carry a bird of that size. Wow.
Finally received the Ransom bio 'The Last Englishman:
