Today is just the same, there are no students or groups sitting round the benches. There are a couple of families with youngContinue reading “Day 12 – chilled evening”

toys.vouch.gent Today we are in section 11, so starting a new row. I am a quarter of the way through the 40 days. This reminds me, 40 days is where the word quarantine comes from.
