Les Serres royales de Laeken ont ouvert leurs portes au public

(2022-04-15_18-38-50 (Belga))


Les Serres royales de Laeken ouvrent leurs portes au public dès aujourd'hui. Les visiteurs peuvent admirer les fleurs, les plantes et l'architecture de ce lieu unique jusqu'au dimanche 8 mai. Le parcours de cette nouvelle édition sillonne l'intérieur et l'extérieur des serres. Les visiteurs peuvent choisir de se promener d'abord dans les jardins du Domaine royal ou d'entrer quasiment directement dans les serres. Cette année, les plus petites serres, connues pour leur splendeur florale, sont à nouveau accessibles au public.

Les nocturnes font également leur grand retour les vendredi, samedi, et dimanche soirs, ainsi que le lundi de Pâques (18 avril). Le 28 avril, un accompagnement spécial est prévu pour les personnes à mobilité réduite, avec un parcours adapté et une assistance spécifique aux points critiques du parcours.

Il est impératif de réserver ses places à l'avance via [1]www.koninklijke-serres-royales.be .

First there was Dial-A-Prayer, then Dial-A-Recipe, and even Dial-A-Footballer.
But the south-east Victorian town of Sale has produced one to top them all.
Dial-A-Wombat.
It all began early yesterday when Sale police received a telephone
call: "You won't believe this, and I'm not drunk, but there's a wombat in the
phone booth outside the town hall," the caller said.
Not firmly convinced about the caller's claim to sobriety, members of
the constabulary drove to the scene, expecting to pick up a drunk.
But there it was, an annoyed wombat, trapped in a telephone booth.
The wombat, determined not to be had the better of again, threw its
bulk into the fray. It was eventually lassoed and released in a nearby scrub.
Then the officers received another message ... another wombat in
another phone booth.
There it was: *Another* angry wombat trapped in a telephone booth.
The constables took the miffed marsupial into temporary custody and
released it, too, in the scrub.
But on their way back to the station they happened to pass another
telephone booth, and -- you guessed it -- another imprisoned wombat.
After some serious detective work, the lads in blue found a suspect,
and after questioning, released him to be charged on summons.
Their problem ... they cannot find a law against placing wombats in
telephone booths.
