In Brugge

Today was the day to visit Brugge, a medieval town in the west of Belgium, part of the Flanders region. Brugge is a very tourist friendly town and gets lots of visitors, the speciality shops are Chocolate and Lace, although there is no shortage of Belgian waffles for sale.




Ross, do not let your bunnies read this perversive new publication




Apparently, I am pointing at the hotel room of Bill & Julie when they were here.


Joy with Loom, wrong type of loom, but must include.

Bloody Romans, been everywhere




After leaving Brugge about 4pm, we headed for the Dutch coast, briefly visiting Neelte Jans and then onto a town called Domburg, a sort of Portsea of the Netherlands, where the well heeled old money set had holiday homes by the sea. We had some nice food and the dog had a ball racing up and down the beach. Home by 10.30pm

  3. I believe the correct term for the "woman doing craft thing" is Tatting.

  4. Fergus, I think Tatting is different again. I agree with "the short one"s comment about bobbin lace making.
    I have made a cross stitch of the same scene depicted in your first photo of Bruge - from a photo we took when we were there in winter - but the canals were frozen and we walked on them - beside the boats :-)
