The American serviceman is on the move. Our neighbour is being posted back to the good ol' US of A after about a decade in Europe, mainly in Belgium and here in the UK. He's really up for it but his Belgian wife, whose French accent is a delight - move over Inspector Clouseau - is not so sure. She's worried about disrupting her son's education so soon after settling him in his first school in our village. They're a great couple but we haven't seen much of him because of his work on one of the bases not far from here and his stints in Afghanistan.

His missus is obviously much closer to her family here than she will be in the States, but he can't wait to get back to a much warmer climate. As an all-American Texas boy, he likes it hot. Really. It seems as though his wife will 'ave to speak to her mozzer on ze pheaun more often.
The removal vans have been coming and going for a few days and they up sticks and move on outta here tomorrow. They're nice guys - we'll be sad to see them go.
Mind you, there are some strange sights around here (picture taken this time last year) that would frighten away anyone.
The big question now: who will be our new neighbours? [End with
Pink Panther theme].
