Friday April 11th, Ken Callahan & visit to Hunting Belgium

Friday April 11th, 2008. I picked Ken up from Heathrow en route for Ghent and Hunting Belgium. Last night we joined Bruno and other Flemish friends for their informal fly-tying get-together and a splendid meal. Today was very quiet, with almost as many VAT inspectors as customers. Hunting stands from all over Europe have brought together a great array of taxidermy and art, guns and clothing; most of it pretty exotic to me. Wild boar and roe deer are the main quarry here, pursued with a wide range of hairy and noisy dogs.
