Belgian Battlefields
... in arms once dead in the ground. Some pretty autumn colours in some of the trees at the back of this cemetery. A moving but peaceful visit. Sat Nav had difficulty directing us to Talbot House Museum in the centre of Poperinge as a set of one way streets had her beaten.

The End...
... we were the only mad people taking a walk along the beach. This cheered Poppy up no end and she was soon racing around in the sand, having forgotten her doggy doctor experience from earlier!
To warm up we stopped for a hot drink and some chips before heading back to Ethel to start packing!
The next day we set off for Dunkirk car ferry terminal which is actually in Loon Plage, (good job we'd checked up on that the ...
