Hougoumont and, hailing a bunch of HLI drilling in a field near the chateau in my very best Glaswegian, thus proving to the international tour group that, those soldiers are NOT Scots (there was not the slighest flicker of recognition or a rude riposte from any of them!)... it was a great day culminating in the most spectacular re enactment.
Just got reminded by an email from friend and fellow traveller on that trip Peter, how wonderful it was. Great June weather, fantastically organized tour with Geek Nation, charming tour group, three of whom I have actually spoken with in the last seven days - brilliant memories.
I have also included some shots of Waterloo games I have organized and played in over the years. In their own way, those were spectacular and extremely collegiate events too.
It isn't the 17th century but it is a joy to behold. Oh, and it appeals to my mischievous side to posit that old chesnut..... Arthur or John? Who was the greater?
Enjoy!
