Friday 9th May 2025

Today we travelled north east stopping off along the way to buy groceries. We stopped for the day at the town of Bogny sur Meurse parking at the Aire. Here's the view from the sliding door on the side of our van.

Unsurprisingly with such a wonderful location the Aire is well patronised.

Unfortunately Ann wasn't feeling too well after yesterday's efforts so I went for a walk by myself.

I passed these geese feeding on the riverside.

The Meurse is bridged at Bogny.

The town doesn't consist of much.

There's the odd unfriendly sign!

The design of the old houses around here is quite distinctive.

I saw this Brimstone butterfly.

Upstream from our parking place there is a weir.

There is a lock to allow boats to bypass the weir.

The valley here is very beautiful. We are in the forested region of Ardennes which stretches across the nearby border into Belgium.

 

There are many allotments along the riverside.

I passed by the local library.

This is a really nice place to while away the day.

Ann made vegetable stew for our tea. Followed by supermarket Tiramisu. 

As dusk approached the river became very still.

Today we travelled 40 miles (64 kilometres). We are at: N49.8591 E4.7448
