A pilgrimage of hope to historic and poignant sites relating to the First World War, led by the two Archbishops of Armagh, has commenced with visits to the city of Kortrijk, in Belgium, and Guillemont Cemetery, in France.
The delegation visited Kortrijk, which was heavily bombed in 1917, yesterday afternoon and arrived at Guillemont this morning. The cemetery is the resting place for many soldiers from the 16th Irish Division who fought at the Battle of the Somme.
This was followed by a visit to the Ulster Tower – a memorial to the men of the 36th (Ulster) Division which suffered very heavy losses on 1st July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme. The delegation then travelled to the nearby Thiepval Memorial and the Y Ravine Cemetery.
The group of pilgrims comprises 36 people of varying ages and backgrounds and representing the Protestant and Catholic traditions, including a core group of 16 young adults, who in visiting the war sites and memorials will be able to forge friendships and share their thoughts and hopes for the future while exploring their cultural identities.
Archbishop Richard Clarke (Church of Ireland) and Archbishop Eamon Martin (Catholic Church) previously led a cross–community delegation of young people from across the island of Ireland to the battle sites of the Somme two years ago; the current pilgrimage marks the upcoming centenary of the end of the First World War.

Andrew Bee was a soldier in the American Civil War credited with helping to capture Jefferson Davis as he tried to escape to Canada (very ironic considering how many other freedom seekers (aka "runaway slaves") made that same trip).
He lived the rest of his life in the area around Allegan and Martin, Michigan.

A few years ago they cleaned up his monument and installed a new marker to explain his role in history.

Today I went to the meeting of the Lowlug Lego club. I brought my MOCs (creations) of Pippi Longstocking and admired everybody else's work.
Of course Pippi Longstocking did not stay on her own table. She ventured into a number of other people's MOCs. Click here to see the whole set of six photopages, or click on one of the numbers above.

Vandaag ben ik op een meeting gweest van de legoclub Lowlug. Ik had mijn MOCs (creaties) van Pippi Langkous meegenomen en heb het werk van alle anderen bewonderd.
Natuurlijk bleef Pippi Langkous niet op haar eigen tafel zitten. Ze ging op avontuur uit in een aantal MOCs van andere mensen.

A cruise along these klongs offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, with views of stilt houses, local residents, temples, and lush gardens along the waterways.
Cruise past wooden houses on stilts and watch people going about their daily activities, such as washing, gardening, and fishing, providing a unique glimpse into life outside the bustling city center.
