After heavy downpours during most of the morning, a small miracle occurred and we enjoyed fine weather between 13.00 and 15.30 for our walk. Eight of us set out from the large square at the end of Hippodroomlaan in Sterrebeek and before long, several ladies decided to carry their coats and don their sunglasses! Walking between a field of onions on our left and a field of potatoes on our right, it was little wonder that someone said it smelled as if dinner was being cooked! The wayside flowers included wonderful purple thistles and a tall blue chicory plant which Jane identified for us. We walked through the fields and along peaceful roads with large, attractive villas and pretty gardens, encountering on our route a goat, some shetland ponies, a horseback rider and one or two dogs. Jane also identified the songs of a yellowhammer and a blackbird. The birds were delighted that the sun was shining!
At the end of the walk we enjoyed a drink sitting outside at the 'Prince Rose' cafe, where we were served by an obliging young waiter. No photos were taken, but a good time was had by all. (description contributed by Sue)
