Last night, speaking from a village about 30km from Liege, he told me he was ahead of schedule but nursing a very sore ankle.

鈥淭im鈥檚 memory drives me an awful lot,鈥 he said. 鈥淵ou remember the happy times but when it gets hard you think what he went through and you realise it鈥檚 nothing at all. It seems like he's with me all the way, which is good."
