Planning A Holiday

[poliphilo]

Ailz and Ruth are in the front room planning a holiday in Belgium. For them the planning is part of the fun. I think planning holidays is an invitation to the gods to come up with obstacles- and never really believe I'm going away until I'm there- so I'm keeping my distance. Also I've been cooking lunch.

I've consulted the atlas. Belgium is a very small country covered in battlefields- which is chiefly famous for not producing anyone famous- which isn't really fair because I can think of three: Georges Simenon, Rene Magritte and Georges Brassens.

Magritte have anything to do with the "Magritte Line" ?? (remember, I'm one of the heathen across the pond with little knowledge of European history...) :-)

Do you mean the Maginot Line? Magritte was a painter.
