Only a month ago

Before everything went wrong, & we discovered that our daughter had had an an accident accident whilst skiing with the school & we lost Blue, DH & I had a short break holiday to Brugges. It now seems like our trip happened years ago but DH took some lovely photos that I really have to share them with you:

We both loved the architecture & spent the two days walking around & taking it all in.

We were very lucky with the weather & had beautiful sunshine & no wind.

DH made this sepia toned to give it a 1940's look.

We found the most amazing cafe for lunch & we'll be making a beeline for it on our next visit:

We walked to the North East corner of the city along the canal path to see the windmills:

DH spotted this photo opportunity & I wish I'd got an email address from them to send them a copy:

We enjoyed a boat trip on the canals & saw the city from a different angle:

and for some knitting content:

We sat down in a small park to kill half an hour before the coach left to go back to the ferry, DH spent the time trying to get the right shadows for the above photo whilst I enjoyed the swans (below).

I managed to find 5 yarn shops but 2 were closed:

Yarn was purchased but has yet to be photographed so for now remains a secret.

And for now for something completely different:


Chocolate boobs!


We did buy some Belgium chocolates but not any of these!
