I passed this lad when I was on a bit of a wander through Brussels city centre at the weekend.
Although it’s pretty heavy on the tartan, I couldn’t find any further scottish-ness about the place – not the drinks nor the food.
I’d still like to give it a go once we’re approaching normality again.
I took a much-needed walk through Bois de la Cambre today at lunchtime today. It was so nice, I completely forgot about a call for work in my schedule. The less said about that the better.
But the park itself is *just* starting to show signs of autumn. After the last few days of almost non-stop rain in Brussels, I was overly careful and wore a completely unnecessary jacket.
Not for the first time, I was very grateful that such a large and beautiful park is practically on my doorstep.
A lovely, if slightly damp morning stroll through Bois de la Cambre for the first time in too many weeks.
While walking, I had a listen to the last few chapters of Hilary Mantel’s ‘Bring up the Bodies’, to prepare for starting the third and final book in her Thomas Cromwell trilogy, ‘The Mirror & the Light’.
Today I got out of the flat for some exercise by walking into and around the centre of Brussels and back again – some 12 km! The more touristy areas would normally be very busy. In the usual run of things, Grand Place would have hundreds of tourists milling around examining the medieval architecture of the square.
I had an eerie experience walking down the steps onto Mont des Arts, which was almost completely deserted and was so quiet I could hear my own footsteps.
After a very pleasant brunch in CHYL, I passed this doorway on my way home.
