We left home with a glimmer of light in the eastern sky and after breakfast in the tunnel were in Calais before 9.30am! A quick whizz round Carrefour and we had some munchies for lunch, and all those essentials that are so much better value in France. Another hour and we were on the outskirts of Ypres.
So different in the Springtime. What would have been a bleak place ten weeks ago, was now pretty and peaceful.
The daffodils were gone, but tulips and irises had taken their place.
All around was colour and softness
Too soon it was time to head back to Ypres for fantastic steak, salad and frites followed by pancakes - tell me, what is wrong with jam and cream?!
Tired (15,000 steps), wind and sun burned we headed back to Blighty - planning our next trip as we went.
