The early morning sun starts to creep over the tre The early morning sun starts to creep over the trees at one side of the Airborne Cemetery in Oosterbeek. The area was at the centre of the failed Operation Market Garden in September 1944, when Allied troops attempted to seize the bridge over the Rhine in nearby Arnhem before the retreating Germans could blow it up. During the operation nearly 46,000 men would be killed, wounded or captured between the two sides, but Oosterbeek in particular saw three quarters of the British 1st Airborne division lost. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1,684 Commonwealth service men are buried or commemorated here, of which 243 are unidentified, along with 79 Polish, 3 Dutch and 4 non-war related graves (including 3 former workers at the cemetery). That is the current known numbers, although Allied soldiers are still being uncovered in the surrounding countryside even in the 21st century, after which their remains are interred here.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Each year on the Sunday following the 17th September, a memorial service is held and local school children lay flowers on the graves.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #commonwealthwargraves #cwgc #oosterbeek #netherlands #migrationmonday #migrationmondaylt #travelphotography #canon7d #mycanon #canonuk
Round 2 of yesterday's adventures. 1. & 2. Moliè Round 2 of yesterday's adventures. 1. & 2. Molière and Corneille don't look entiretly thrilled about the prospect of the opera starting up again... 3. 6. & 7. Some of the crazy painted fake windows around the centre of the city 4. LT's dad's favourite hat shop ever, he has hundreds of photos of it and bought a beret from it this year 5. Umbrellas over alleys are so passé, zoom in to see what's in now... 8. & 9. Are actually the 2 different courses from lunch at the Vietnamese restaurant, but someone wolfed down the 2nd course before taking a photo (we were distracted by the comings and goings of the sapeur pompiers up and down the alley we were seated in - LT) 10. The other famous bit of the Palais Des Papes #jackdoesavignon #jackdoesprovence #jackdoesfrance2021
The staff have been slacking badly here and have o The staff have been slacking badly here and have only just sorted out yesterday's photos, can you imagine?! (There was a horrific thunder storm that lasted for hours late yesterday afternoon/evening/night - LT) Anywho, yesterday we went to Avignon and pottered about, which is to say that someone's mum has no sense of direction and we got a whole tour round the walls of the city on the way to the market (which is nowhere near the walls of the city 😂) before walking all over other more recognisable parts. 1. Part of the Palais Des Papes - we always park underneath the square here 2. I should have just stayed here at the sweet shop when I saw it, it was all downhill from here! 3. A yarn bombed bike outside a cafe in the non-touristy parts of the city 4. When you've been doing up the walls and then you just stop, quite inexplicably, in the middle of a section... 5. Someone seems to have been saying balls to the Palais de Justice... 6. Back in well known parts I found the perfect wee tent, but no-one would buy it for me. It came with a sleeping bag and everything! (The shop was shut and it was a model - LT) 7. A lovely, cheery flower shop in the rain 8. The carousel which has been there forever (at least 30 years) but there weren't many kids wanting a go in the rain #jackdoesavignon #jackdoesprovence #jackdoesfrance2021
Went out for a dead posh lunch today at L'Oustalet Went out for a dead posh lunch today at L'Oustalet in Gigondas which has ⭐s and everything! You can tell it's dead posh because of the 3 extra courses you don't order and don't appear on the menu but appear by magic in front of you... 1.a wee glass of Beaumes De Venise while we contemplate the wine lists. Yes, lists, each tome behind me is a list, 1 white, 1 red. 2. The first magically appearing wee things, an olive ball an some super thin crackers as appetizers 3. Magical appearance number 2, an amuse bouche of nasturtium leaf wrapped green stuff with a courgette foam and pea shoot (some people forgot to take notes from the waiter while I was posing) 4. Starter with roasted aubergine, smoked tofu and lapsang souchong jelly. 5. Waiter, there's a fish in my celeriac! Someone's mother, the ex French teacher, has a poor track record on fish recognition in menus. As penance she had to swap it for her ravioli made from yellow courgettes which all made a yummy main course with the celeriac, celery, potato discs and celery foam, while no doubt horrifying the chef 6. After LT's parents chickened out of the lists and went for the sommelier's choice with each course, giant bottles kept turning up. 7. The cheese course wasn't your usual dods of different things, but a big pile of pecorino shavings on top of a moussey thing that no-one caught the name of 8. The bottles started getting disappointingly smaller... 9. Dessert of sheep's cheese foam over stewed rhubarb 10. The petit fours of confit local fruit and nougat #loustalet_gigondas #michelinstar
The second of the holiday's stunt quilts gets a sh The second of the holiday's stunt quilts gets a showing off, my long awaited #plaidishquilt - pattern by @kitchentablequilting which I made a bit bigger for big bed size (around 104" square). Fabric is all from my stash, including newsprint backing (formerly a shiny new duvet cover which I opened up and made up to size) and black and white stripey binding. Pieced and quilted with @aurifil but *gasp* I nearly exhausted my cone of 2021 piecing it. Fret not though, I had a spare in the wings 😂 . . . . . . . #quilting #quilt #iquilt #sewing #sewcialist #lovesewing #lovequilting #isew #sewist #sewingblogger #quiltblogger #blogger #aurifil
Hey, somebody stole our mountain top this evening! Hey, somebody stole our mountain top this evening! Storms are rolling in for the next couple of days...
One of the things that holidays in nice places are One of the things that holidays in nice places are good for is quilt photos. This funny little carport like thing is opposite our Air BnB, and it seemed perfect to show of my 2 newly completed quilts. This first one I made during the first lockdown last year and used up 2 lines of @artgalleryfabrics 1 yard bundles by @sewsweetness and @katyeaglejones which I'd been hoarding since 2014 😳 The pattern is the #bigkissquilt by @selfsewn which I made 4 of, 2 from each line, to make a proper bed sized quilt at just over 100" square. It took me until we'd returned to Killearn this year to baste it on the big floor, and then another couple of months to quilt it, go back to Killearn and trim it, before finishing the binding the weekend before I came away. I bound it in the same Carolyn Friedlander wide-screen that I'd backed it with as there were too many other colours to try and match! . . . . . . . #quilting #quilt #iquilt #sewing #sewcialist #lovesewing #lovequilting #isew #sewist #sewingblogger #quiltblogger #blogger #aurifil
What does every good bear do the day after they've What does every good bear do the day after they've hiked up a very big mountain 🏔️? Go out to a big lunch of course! 1. The biggest glass of Beaumes De Venise you've ever seen for aperitif 2. Nibbles of olives, cheese straws and peanuts (it started with more cheese straws!) 3. Amuse bouche of some potato-squiddy thing (the waiter mumbled something but we didn't catch it, so it's our best guess!) 4. Starter of brouillade aux truffes - we think that as it's the end of the summer truffle season they're trying to use it all up before the winter ones come in 😂 5. Main of beef with mushrooms and mash 6. Dessert of iles flotant which has given us a sugar high for a week #jackdoesleslavandes #jackdoesprovence #jackdoesfrance2021
