A lovely time in Brussels !

Here is Hearts and Crafts latest recruit. She was on trial. She was very helpful. We might keep her on!

Thank you AJ for coming and keeping Josie company while we went away!












A and Josei tuck into new chocolate cake.

AJ is honoured by Matilda.

Have set off at 4am we travelled on less than safe roads and finally reaching Ebsfleet found the carpark really treacherous. But we were not going to give up.

Brussels was quite snowy too and about minus 5!

We thought this a bit strange.

The wonderful Grand Place.,

Fantastic Mer de Nord stall selling hot squid and scampi. Pouring wine like it was water. It was very crowded and great fun!

Amazing mushrooms

The Quotidien. Very healthy. Didn't enjoy a rather bitter goats cheese and olive pate.

La Mort Subit - Meaning "sudden death"
A truely wonderful place with loads of atmostphere and the best beer! We didn't bother with a meal we just sat and had a crocque.

Traditional snack to go with beer. Celery salt really makes it.

Christmas market.

Lovely Nicolidas from Crete. We bought a few xmas presents from him.

View from our Aris hotel - five floors up.

Back home and a Sunday walk to see the last of the snow.

There's always time for a head.

A new display from things from our walk.

Even managed to fit in some printing.
