The Streets of Bruges
Being a popular tourist destination, Bruges is always packed with people. In spite of this, it’s possible to find pockets of the city bereft of the hustle and bustle! It was really peaceful meandering through these empty streets without having to share it with anyone else!

The Changing Seasons – January 2022
Welcome to 2022! (A bit late on my part, but better late than never!) I spent the first month of the new year cooking new recipes. My bread maker stopped working, so I have started to make bread in the oven. It turned out well and it was delicious. I started a major health regime …
Discovering the Canals of Bruges
I am somehow drawn to water, so if I visit somewhere with canals, you can be sure they will be on my list of things to see. While in Bruges, I headed to the Spiegelrei Canal and wandered along its banks. There are some lovely colourful buildings in the traditional stepped-gable design. Next, the Augustijnenrei …
A Walk Around Bruges
On a trip to Belgium in 2020, just two days into the new year, I went to Bruges for the day. It was a lovely way to spend a few hours. I loved it so much, I’m going to retrace my steps and hope that you will join me for a little tour around the …
Brussels: Save the Best ’til Last
This is the last of my Brussels’ posts and these are my best photographs for you to get a last glimpse of the city. As I’ve mentioned before, choosing photographs to be the best is very subjective. For me, I choose the best ones based on interesting subjects and nice views, colours, reflections, rule of …
The Prettiest Street in Bruges
Gouden-Handrei is, arguably, one of the prettiest streets in Bruges so, of course, I had to make a beeline for it when I visited in January 2020. The street carries on into Spaanse Loksaai and ends at the Augustijnenreibrug – a three-arched bridge dating from the 14th century, making it the city’s oldest. After the …
Brussels: Street Life
Whenever I go out and about, I always end up people-watching! I can sit for hours just watching everyone go about their business. In Brussels, at the end of 2019, the streets were bustling with people enjoying the new year celebrations. For more street life on the other side of the world. Love and peace …
Brussels: Street Art
One of the things I love while exploring somewhere is coming across street art. It brightens up window shutters, walls, garage doors and run down buildings. I’d say it’s a welcome addition to any city! Searching for street art (and finding it) makes me happy and it’s something different to do! For more street art, …
The Changing Seasons – December 2021
Happy New Year! My December was full of family, food and getting out into nature. My mum bought me the best advent calendar ever – instead of chocolates there was a miniature Rituals beauty product behind every door. I always get excited when I see beautiful sunrises like this one. Christmas decorations in Wellingborough. Frosty …
