Sunday was a tourist attraction at the Hougomont farm a whole village of 1815 was built around the farm.
There were many tourists from all countries who walked around and as it was just lunch time they could see what was eaten at that time ! For drinking there was no problem it had always been beer apparently !
Then I went to Nicole who had her daughter and granddaughter there to keep her company. It was the first time that I was in her flat after Charlie's dead. It was so strange, not to hear him barking when I rang the bell, the apartment looked empty ! We sat on the terrace, it was beautiful sunshine.
One of the last pictures of Charlie.
Hi Gattina - sorry about Charlie ... always so difficult. I won't be around much in April as I'm A-Zing ... I'll read, but probably not comment .. cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteA good way to experience past times.
ReplyDeleteYes' I've heard that beer has been the beverage of choice for many centuries. According to my history teacher, it was safer to drink beer than water because water used to be full of nasty bacteria.
ReplyDeletePlease know that I am thinking of you and Nicole with this sad loss.
