We say Ghent


Standard I am here photo.		In front of the station, not sure either.

The station.		Ghent has lots of water.

Ghent has lots of history.		Ghent has a castle.

And the flag tells you I am in Belgium.		Not sure about the link to the SAS.

The roof.		I like flags.

They like torture in Ghent.		They like a lot of torture in Ghent.

And thrones.		A touch overcast.

Ghent has trees.		And that’s your lot.

They say Gent

A new floor


Local lad, probably drinks Cantillon.		Brewery, museum and van.

The bar and shop.		Where the wild yeast does its magic, nearly fully drained.

And it drained into here.		Ingredients.

Laying down a cellar.		The bottling line.

No reason, just looks good.		See left.

And filmed for Japanese TV

The car iPhone mount broken


Bedwas and it’s early.		Plan B is the TomTom and a steamed up screen.

The long stay and its sun up.		Just in case I forget.

Not this time.		Not raining.

Bit early but checked in online.		Post Chicken Tikka at Subway.

Mainly an easyJet airport.		After a full search of my trainers and computer rucksack.

Departures post rush hour.		Dealing with the delay.
