MAYONNAISE ON CHIPS AND CHERRY IN BEER

I leave at 2.30am for us to be in the fruit market at Sint Truiden by Midday only to discover that there is no trading because of the rain. We find fruit crops in Belgium to be variable and like us they are really struggling with the wet weather and cold temperatures.

We visit several great nurseries and orchards along with the PC fruit research centre. At dinner in Maastric we discover Kriek beer but can't blame it for virtually falling asleep after the main course.
