Brits welcome again from Friday without corona requirements

They should therefore no longer be tested or quarantined. And they are very happy with that in the Talbot House in Poperinge.

Simon Louagie (Talbot House Poperinge):”

It’s a British house. It is very special that we have them back. That has a huge financial impact. Half of our audience lives on the other side of the Channel, or the ocean. It’s nice and good for morale to hear English again, to pour tea, and to be gone again. It’s back to the way it used to be, as it should be.”

Even today there were already a few scarce Brits in Talbot House. David Garret came by today, for 48 hours: “

I missed it. I have friends here, and my great-uncle was killed here in 1915. His name is on the Menin Gate, and I’ve come to pay him respects. We have friends here. We enjoy the Belgian people, the food, and the Belgian beer of course.”
