After a lovely drive north along the banks of The Meuse to Givet we had a very enjoyable time in the French Ardennes country. That was until the football started, the quiet picturesque town was turned into the noisiest place in France, but it was Belgium who were playing! Being only 2 miles from the border it seemed the every Belgian within driving distance had descended on the town to prove that they could sound their car horn more times than anybody else. Thankfully it only lasted until midnight.
We departed a very peaceful Givet at 9am and headed into Belgium to an Aldi at Philippville, the only place Rachel could get her much sort after sauce mixes. Success, and if that wasn't good enough there was a C&A next door. Being the ever dutiful husband Brian says "Would you like to have a look around as we are here my dear"? Shopping doesn't get much better than this! Now it isn't a big shop, but she's been in there so long now I am starting to fear she is suffering from the disease known as Claire and Mopsy Hodgsonitis!
