Tournai-Doornik Belgium

Oh yeah folks.
The Missus and I went to Tournai to visit an "Old-style" museum (the kind I like the best) (forgotten and unknown). The smell of leather; brass and gun oil and the shine of the "Cold Steel"

Enjoy !
Francis

And yes...once again you'll have to take my ugly mug for granted....
