France - Hallines

Some more shots of our lovely BnB in the small village of Hallines.

We suspect all the houses on the island were part of the mill complex

Our BnB was the furthest building

Our back garden. Our room is the top left windows

Great place for a picnic

Threatening skies on the second day, so we stayed close to the door

Grey clouds

Torrential rain

Followed by mist on the river Aa

And from inside - gorgeous weather

Mist

And threatening skies

On the morning of our departure, we visited the church in Hallines, which was just around the corner from the BnB and remarkably large for such a small village.

On the way in, we noticed a small sign saying there were some Commonwealth war graves here, so we asked someone in the church, and he kindly took us throught the communal graveyard (which is closed due to dangerous deterioration of monuments), and showed us two graves. Both were Englishmen.
