Janet's walk from Drève du Comte

The weather was still threatening to be hot and sunny so a walk was planned under the trees of the forest from Dreve du Comte.




Thank you Leon for being so co-operative and smiling for the camera!

Our walk was extended to keep us out of the sun and take coffee at the tennis club for the first time this year.  Despite these precautions we still all got pretty warm on our walk!  Our "friendly man" didn't come out to greet us at the tennis club, and we rather think that the club  might be under new management/ownership.

In another deviation from the route we visited for the first time the memorial to the 32 people who died in the Brussels Bombings.

We also chatted about the UNESCO world heritage site designation.  This is such new news that it's not yet included on the UNESCO website, nor has the forest's website been updated!
