The thing about the Belgians is that they've got their priorities right. Consequently life here can be extremely cosy, as I hope the next two images will go some way to prove. The first picture is a Saturday afternoon from a couple of weeks ago. Bart's friends Cindy and Peter came over for the day, and here we are preparing lunch together. Signs that we're in Belgium: the bottles on the table and the pralines. As I said, priorities...
And soon it was time for a post-prandial walk, so off we went to the Cinquantenaire, a kind of cross between the Arc de Triomphe and the Brandenburg Gate built to celebrate the country's fiftieth birthday. The view from the top is very fine - and it was a lovely late autumn day. We took the lift, by the way.
And there was me thinking that this priority thing was down to my inability to behave as a functional human being whilst in the UK.
I usually have more fun and better times in places where they appreciate the finer things in life.
Glad you're enjoying Belgium.
