Barges and bridges...

On an evening walk with out hosts Dick and Sandra around the Eco-village we discover they recycle the grey water to form the natural ponds that are scattered amongst the communal gardens. A big pole with an artificial storks nest has for the first time been occupied this year. There is a web-cam so we can watch their progress. We also check on the live cam of the peregrine on Norwich Cathedral.


A perfect Sunday summers morning as we cycle passed orchards and through an arch into pretty Buren, then on to Nijmegen, over the most fantastic double lane new cycle bridge attached to the side of the railway. The is a small amount of the ancient city centre remaining but most was bombed in WW2 because of the strategic bridge. Lovely WS host Annmieke is a bus driver in nearby Bemmel. We wander the locality together in
the warm evening along the dyke, with views of the thatched farm houses and big barges along the river.
