Hmmm. Lining up soldiers for tonight. The cupboard is getting bare but there's still a few Mont Saint Jean farmhouse specials!

I’ve also since finished all my Duke of Wellington’s Olive Oil … Extra virgin Arbequina … from his estate in Granada, Spain, a gift from a grateful nation. Delicious.

Always a pleasure Tom, and thank-you; it’s our great guests who create such a unique and special atmosphere on each and every journey, and make touring such a wonderful privilege.

Exploring Brussels on my own was a great way to fend off the jet lag and try to acclimate to local time. 2/2

The #Waterloo re-enactment weekend planned for 20th & 21st June 2020 has now, unsurprisingly, been officially postponed until 2021. Our very best wishes to all our dearest friends in Belgium, we are with you in mind and spirit. Bon chance mon braves!

fortyfirst.org/blog/coming-t… The unfortunate global pandemic and the need for social distancing has brought to mind a situation the 41st Regiment found itself in when it was sailing to Canada in 1799. A terrible fever broke out onboard their transport. (1/6)

We contacted our 2020 tour guests last week with this COVID19 guidance. Keen to provide practical leadership, guidance, and do the right thing. campaignsandculture.com/late…

“... though the air swarms with live geese, a feather-bed could not be got for love or money...” and more beautifully worded historical advice on Texas. I also love the painting, reminds me of Cavalié Mercer’s artistic style when painting Nova Scotia in the same era.

Probably the finest #Waterloo Tour ever. Sharing years of dedicated on-the-spot Campaign research, insight & re-interpretation, joined throughout by Andrew Field of "The French Perspective" book fame, with re-enactments to boot! Over 9 days. Take a look: buff.ly/35nAxq4

If you can't join us for #PeninsularWar Portugal, how about Spain in May? A top tour experience embedded in a deep appreciation of these amazing historic sites, and we're joined throughout by @GloverGareth. buff.ly/2QHhcvQ

#6000in30 Day29 Walk around Montreuil-sur-Mare walls. Not for the feint-hearted, no barriers.

#6000in30 Day29 Almost home, past Agincourt & Crecy to Montreuil. Medieval market town, Vauban defence, Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, Napoleon's 1805 Boulogne invasion threat, Douglas Haig's GHQ 1916-18. Fits perfectly into our bespoke tour, Crecy to Dunkirk, 1346-1945.
