Brussels / Bruxelles / Brussel

After 3 years of winter, summer has arrived! 29 & 30 degrees and not just during the week when we all sit in airconditioned freezers. No, this time we are enjoying hot weekends both in London and Brussels!

William has found work contracting to a bank in Brussels for a few months, so we are once again part of that micro trend of professional couples that live and work in separate cities - separate countries even!
But it's all good. We share the travelling, one weekend he returns to our apartment in London and the next I visit him at his pied-à-terre in Brussels.


Last weekend - another blissfully warm one - I visited him. Just 2 hours on the Eurostar et voila! - chocolates, beer, french food and sightseeing :)

Chocolats de la Belgique!
