Put my head out the door to find Belgium soldiers all round my house, they are on maneuvers. One shouted "do you surrender?" "Not without a fight" says I . they took a photo of me, to take home, no makeup blush

shock Are you used to having manoeuvres then? I think I'd be a bit concerned if I looked out my door & saw soldiers like that!

Not soldiers, but any number of Duke of Edinburgh walkers - lost! No guns, but OS maps. We are thinking of putting a sign on the gate - 'You are here' grin

Newist, my question is, why Belgian soldiers?Don't they have a bit of land suitable for manoevres in Belgium?

roses not sure why, we have an army base here, every summer people (army types) come to train. It was just so funny standing talking to 2 fully armed gorgeous soldiers on my doorstep

As if your view wasn't lovely enough newist grin greedy girl !

Perhaps the army invites others to come and train there, then.The least you could do was warm them a bit of haggis up, and a cuppa!
