Hornchurch – I agree with your comments. It is easier to communicate in English in the Flanders region, the Walloon region is alot harder. We had a nightmare experience in a place in Mons after we dealt with someone who claimed he spoke and understood English.

Spitfire Pilot – those lights were beautiful, I first noticed them as we were on the way to the hotel in the taxi and decided I must get a photo. We went for a walk as soon as we had dropped off the small amount of luggage that was actually delivered to us (BA ****-up!) and I took the photos.

Here in Scarborough the lights look very tacky but they were much nicer in Brugge.
