Beautiful Ghent.

The city I was born... the city where every stone breathes culture and is a tribute to its past. A city so beautiful it makes you want to never leave. I miss it.

If you ever have the chance to visit Europe, make sure you don't skip Belgium (or drive through it as so many people do) and you take some time to visit this little gem.

Alternatively, expand your horizons the virtual way, by visiting this link.

Oh, and did I mention that Belgium is the home of over 1000 (yes, you are reading that right!) locally brewed beers? Check this out: Belgian Beer on Wikipedia and this: Belgian Beer.

Life is good. :)

I'm baaaaaack!

Hello lovely ladies (are any guys reading this?)!!

I am back! Back from one of my most wonderful holidays. I just returned from my home country: Belgium, and I am still revelling in the marvellous times I spent there. I never realised how much I missed my family and my little country until now.

I said I was going to give updates regularly but, unfortunately, I did not have any (decent) internet access for 8 weeks! Yeah, my mum still uses dial up and I just don't have the patience to sit there and wait 5 minutes for a page to load! Lol.. specially not with all the exciting things happening around me! So I am sure you will all forgive me...

I did take a lot of photos and I am waiting for my jet-lag to clear up before I start sorting and presenting them. Patience... it will be worth the wait! Lol...

I wished I had all your addresses to send you a postcard from Belgium, however, thanks to internet technology this task has been made possible and easy, so here's your postcard: from me to you, chockful of love!

The stunning building on the photo is the City Hall of one of Belgium's most romantic and beautiful cities: Brugge. I've included the link of Brugge's official website should you want more information. :)

That's it for today, my friends, I am invited to a Birthday party and I still have to wash and blowdry my hair! I would have preferred to stay home though... curled up on the sofa with hubby, nice and cozy with the heater on (yes, it is winter here), reminiscing about our first trip together... (yes, he met his inlaws for the first time!). Oh well...

Catch ya later, peeps!

Love,

Nancy
