… to explain, yet again my absence from blogging. I’ve just returned from a week in Belgium, which was cold, wet and exhausting. Summer indeed. And while I did have some good meals in the mix, there was an overabundance of bland white fish in creamy white sauces. But it was not a tourist trip, and I also had to work. Maybe that has skewed my perspective? I did get to quickly visit Grand Place in Brussels again, and Bruges in West Flanders, that lovely old city.
Of course, my trip was not without much drama. Apart from getting there hours and hours later than expected. Let’s see. For my visit to Bruges you will see I have used a Nikon CoolPix 3200 – a much older model than my usual point and shoot, because I forgot to charge the batteries. I did have my D80, but not that day because I didn’t think we were going touristing. A lot of long bus rides, and no batteries in Bruges and Zeebrugge did mean I started learning to use that D80 though.
I sprained my ankle (stil recovering).
And I lost my very own little CoolPix 7900, that has served me faithfully since October 2005. It disappeared somewhere in Gatwick on the return trip.
Sigh.
Well, it’s D80 or nothing now!
While I recover from the hobbling, deal with jetlag and the mountain of laundry that is always the inevitable result of my never staying home for longer than a blink…you can see some of my photos from Belgium.
