Saturday morning in Brussels

Today we are taking it slow as we are heading out to Brigitte’s place this afternoon to catch up with most of the family. We decided to head back to Le Pain Quotidien in the St Hubert Gallery and we were lucky to get a table as it was so busy. We ordered scrambled eggs with baguette which was delicious and a coffee. In the covered galleries you can also do some great people watching - very entertaining indeed!

I had noticed some street art when we had walked from the station on Thursday evening so we went in search of it. Incredibly we found some of it and Ian spotted a whole lot down a little alley that was very moving as it focused on bullying and acceptance of people who may be different to you or I. Rainbow House commissioned this work which was done by a range of artists. Unfortunately some of their names have been obscured by some subsequent tagging which I think is very disrespectful.

We then headed back yo the apartment to get organised for the family catch up.Read more
