I've been promising (threatening?) for ages to post some pictures of my summer and autumn travels. Now I've got them a bit organised, there are a few samples below, starting with some of the places we visited in the Netherlands in July.
This is the artist Hieronymous Bosch, in the Market in the centre of 's-Hertogenbosch, his home town:
Lacemaker might enjoy these, found in the social history section of the Noordbrabants Museum - 19th century lace head-coverings as worn by local ladies:
From Den Bosch, we went on to Arnhem. This is the famous "Bridge too Far", the John Frost Bridge built in 1948 to replace the one destroyed during the infamous Operation Market Garden.
In August, we went to Wiltshire for the "Imberbus" event on Salisbury Plain. Fortunately, the weather was much kinder than last year! To mark the centenary of the Great War, London Transport Museum allowed their restored B-type omnibus out to play. Here it is, approaching the Imber village bus stop in its military livery.
If anyone wants to see them, here's a link to my album which has 100-odd other pictures of this year's travels complete with fairly explanatory captions
