    No mate,

    I'm not that hardcore these days........ I'm feeling very rough, and I have visitors later John from the GWF.....

    They are taking me to Vimy next week

    Note to self: Stop drinking earlier when staying in Ypres!!:lol:

    I had something stronger..... abt 10% I think was called, followed by champagne cocktails at the 12 apostels, the Mrs then walked up to Andre at the OTT and high fived him! well at least we think she did!

    Good Grief Soren, it wasn't the Westvleteren Abt 12° was it ? Well then don't expect any sympathy from me, as my mother used to say and my wife still does;)

    If I'm in Ieper then it's generally on a motorcycle and anything stronger than 7.5% gets in the front wheel of me 'bike:)

    Super photos. Was your camera set on European or UK time? I'm going to Ieper in September and I might consider getting up early if I could could get a sunrise like that.

    Hi Jim,

    I used the wall clock, I'm not a keen photographer, I was taking the hound out and just thought it looked fab!
