Melly's walk at Chateau de la Hulpe


Four of us were daft enough to go for a two-hour walk in the continuous rain. It was that cheeky kind of rain that looks like a slight drizzle, but actually soaks you when you are not paying attention. We soldiered on, hoods up and umbrellas dripping, walking fast to keep warm, deviating a little from the norm to try a couple of new paths. It wasn't the best of days (now there's an understatement!) but the air was fresh, we got plenty of exercise and at the end of the walk, in response to a kind invitation from Ingeborg, those of us who were able to make it were treated to coffee and Christmas cakes in her lovely warm home.
