lunch at the Deschodts

Denis' mother Odette is a great cook and brought out a great spread for lunch. This was just part of it. There was also a slow cooked lamb in garlic, and blanquette de veau
bumblebees!

I love bumblebees - their huge buzzy fluffiness - and have been delighted to see so many around. Hard to photograph. These were in Denis' parents' garden in Roy.

Aude the knight

Aude and Jean were learning about knights and princesses at day care. Aude decided she wanted to be a knight, and had this costume which also has a shield and sword. Jean decided he wanted to be a princess and got that, complete with pointy princess hat. Otherwise he likes tractors and steam engines, but I think it's great that no one found his costume choice a problem

Jean, Marie and Aude. Denis was driving us to his parents' place in the Ardennes. Aude was konked out due to an epic battle of wills to force her to wear pants
international road signs

Despite all my years of travelling, as an Australian, I still get a kick out of seeing road signs to another country

I flew from Sweden to Brussels Charleroi, and was picked up by Marie, who had been a WWOOFer on my farm some 5 years ago. This is the street where she lives with her partner Denis and their two kids

leaving Sweden

Manuela drove me to Skavsta, a drive of about 2 hours down county roads. It was an emotional farewell on both sides, and tearful for me. Hopefully not our last meeting.
Skavsta Airport had a water problem the day I flew out of Sweden. None of the toilets were functionable so they had two portable toilets out the front.

I flew with RyanAir from "Stockholm" to "Brussels". RyanAir is a budget airline that flies to airports that are almost where they say they are. So "Stockholm Skavsta" is actually in Nyköping, 100km south of Stockholm, and "Brussels Charleroi" is actually 50km south of Brussels. Still, you can't beat their prices.
