Biking to Apple Orchard
Biking to Apple Orchard

We cast 24 lines of text type today on the composition caster, 12 didot Baskerville, and learned a little about the adjustments. We saw a monument to the Algonquin Regiment of the fourth Canadian armour brigade honoring an intense battle there during WWII. Isabellasluis was the name of the location of the battle, at the Leopold canal, during Sept. 21—Oct. 14, 1944. There was so much fighting that at the end of the first day they were running out of ammo.

We also met a farmer whose field was the site of an English bomber plane crash in 1941.He had a lovely farm with cows, chickens, and a very beautiful brick barn building.
