Friday 8 April - Ingeborg & Sherry's Walk

Fifteen of us met on a gloriously sunny afternoon for a walk led by Ingeborg and Sherry around the Waterloo-Ohain area.



The walk took us along a variety of paths and roads, with ever changing scenery. What did not change was the weather - and we were perhaps even a little too warm at times!



We made a detour to visit this interesting cemetery.




The cemetery was beautifully situated with views over the village and Church, and some very unusual graves including one to a girl whose surname was not known, a row of nun's graves, a pond grave, a grave where the widow has already ensured things are ready for when she joins her husband and some Commonwealth Graves mingling with those of lost Belgian soldiers.

Towards the end of our walk we made a 'doggy stop' to leave Halka at home ... I think we were going to be missed as we walked away!




At the end of the walk we were made welcome by Ingeborg in her lovely home, where she and Christa had kindly prepared some delicious refreshments for us. We were delighted to find that Sheila and Denise, who had taken a shorter walk, were also there.




A very big THANK YOU to Ingeborg, Sherry and Christa from all the ladies walking today!
