We leave our magical forest setting this morning, Strasbourg bound. It’s fascinating to know that these forests are selectively logged and horrifying to see how many trees are actually taken, on our way out. The […]

2018 Day 45 – Oberhaslach
So. A small misstep by himself last night has changed our plans a little. Confident in his indestructiblity, he decided to walk down an embankment. A 40 degree grassed embankment. At night. In the wet. […]
2018 Day 44 – Saint Quirin
We spend the morning driving though the stunning Vosges forest of Alsace-Lorraine. They’re very reminiscent of Scandinavia’s tall growth forests full of beech, larch and spruce. There are places I feel most at peace. Over […]
2018 Day 40 – Verdun
Another glorious day in the beautiful Verdun. We explore the right bank this morning – it seems much more residential than the old city, on the left bank. Even so, there’s still plenty to see: […]
2018 Day 39 – l’Epine and Verdun
We bid a fond adieu to the Champagne area this morning, resuming our journey east. Landscapes change swiftly and dramatically, the endless vine plantings give way to cleared farmland on open plains. Champagne still has […]

Oh! The loveliest of days in Paris today, far away from the maddening crowds, spent amongst gorgeous food, Parisienne locals and glorious gardens. We have an early start, straight in to the Marche Bastille. If […]
2018 Day 30 – Gerberoy
Day 30. Where did that time go, pray tell? Surely we landed mere moments ago. The morning sees us driving south, through large scale farm land. This is the serious business end of farming: endless […]
2018 Day 29 – Ypres
We’re better organised today. Bikes out, Google maps on, we find a bike path along the river that takes us all the way into Ypres. Interestingly, Ypres is its French name: the town’s official name […]
2018 Day 28 – Finally, in Europe
And so after a delayed start, we find ourselves at last driving to Dover, Calais bound on the noon ferry. I love the logistics that accompany these crossings. I’m sure that there’s a pertinicky Virgo […]
2018 Day 27 – Canterbury
It’s lovely to wake to a lazy second day in Canterbury. Having seen the Cathedral yesterday, we’re free to explore at leisure. A more detailed walk through town is in order. I had to be […]
