My lovely flowers, planning a trip

Today is a holiday- planning- day so no travel  photos yet so here is a photo of my lovely birthday roses from 2 weeks ago.

 The question is , when planning, should one try to do everything ? Maybe the opportunities should be taken or should one stick with the original plan?

So far the Eurostar lunch trip planned from London to Lille for one day in  July  has changed to include, overnight Lille and  a side trip to Arras in Pas-de Calais,  a 30 min train journey from Lille.  Arras is home to an ensemble of Flemish-style arcade buildings, in WW11 some New Zealanders dug tunnell there and I quess because of that,  Arras has  a Wellington Quay. There are also reported to be number of nice cafes under the arches of the Grand Palace

Now something new has emerged there is a concert in Amsterdam on July 3rd ! Its at the Concertgebouw near Vondel park and that is a lovely area of the city . Its also just 2 hours 15 from Lille to Amsterdam central by rail. To go or not to go...............?



The next picture was taken in Brussels , this was the prettiest duck in the park  I called her Elise
