Every year we run an exchange with a Rotary Club in our Twin Town of Braine L'Alleud where we stay in each other's houses, visit places of interest and generally have a wonderful time. This year we were in Basingstoke!

We all loved the visit to Wellington and Dummer Riding for the Disabled. Excited children, beautiful horses and some bacon rolls - what's not to love?
