janewilliams20We did indeed spend the day driving. We're in a Campanile outisde Venlo, just across the Dutch border, and for 6e I can have 50 min WIFI access.
Today's report: rain, traffic jams, motorways.
I've read a book about how to write short stories for magazines, and learnt some new tricks and some mistakes to watch out for, and a diary of a farmer's wife from the 1790s, which was fascinating and hilarious in spots. Bits there I can borrow, too. Both of these were birthday presents from my mum, picked up from a second-hand book-stall in Cambridge.
Tomorrow we decline to pay for the breakfast buffet here, move out at around 8, and cross Belgium, aiming for Bruges. Ferry home is Thursday.... next book in the stack is one on writing novels.
