Here we are in the hills of eastern Belgium … Simon, Petra, Cara, Bruce and Pascal (left to right in the first photo).  We’re renting a house that used to be a barn.

The stone walls … the hand-cut posts and beams, not at all straight.  The silence.  The home.

We sit by the fire.  We talk.  We snooze.  We eat … delightfully too much.

Actually we are not only five people.  Cara is working on the sixth.  And … Jefke is her beloved doggie:

Last night it was a lovely restaurant, tucked away in a village.  I voted for pasta carbonara.  Délicieux!  Other choices included steak and croquettes.  Menu choices didn’t matter.  The we did.

On we go now, into the natural world.  It’s time for a walk

À bientôt
