On our way back to Calais from Brussels, we had a stop-over in Brugge. We only had a an hour, just enough time for a coffee and a quick browse!!

  3. I love to visit Brugge... outside tourist season. It’s wonderful. The cathedral is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen! You shouold go back there one day and make a boat-tour through the little canals!

  9. Thank you to you all for the lovely comments. and welcome my new reader,Paul. Brugge is truly a lovely place to visit, very cute, very quaint. Delightful small shops, and the square is magnificent.

    I have been there a few times, but only for quick visits. If any of you get to either re-visit or visit for the first time, I hope you have a wonderful time.

    Nicolette - yes your right, out of tourist season is the best, thats when I like going places!!

    Cherrypie, pleased I brought back fond memories for you. I remember going with my husband for a day, years ago, mine were fond memories as well!!

    Rochambeau.. I am surprised you haven't heard of Brugge, very historic. So pleased I brightened your day though :-)

  11. Hi Anne!

    Just wanted to stop by and visit your blog and to say thank you, for visiting mine the other day!

    What a lovely blog you have here!

    I LOVE your header, and the saying that you share about not looking back - because it’s so TRUE!

    In fact I’ve enjoyed reading several of the sayings you share here.

    It’s funny that I landed on this post about Brussels, because I visited there briefly, on my way to living in Amsterdam for a summer. I did some theater there and LOVED it!

    Thanks again for taking the time to stop by and say hi!

    Have a wonderful week, Anne!

  12. Anne, I couldn't help but focus in on the chocolate shop (I luvvv chocolate), but are those several sets of boobs in the window? They look like they have demi-bras on but boy do they take demi to a new level!

  13. It does look like a great place for shopping - even for bras.

    But, hang on, are they selling Christmas stuff already??? Years just keep getting shorter and shorter.

  14. Hi Ron thank you so much for your great comments about my blog! Wow I love Amsterdam, I used to visit Holland and Amsterdam quite a few years ago when I lived at RAF Laarbruch in Germany, which is just on the Dutch border.

    Have a great week and thanks for visiting!

  18. I'd really like to visit Brugge one day, I had to be there in August with my parents, but I had a problem with my personal situation (you read it on my blog) and decided to stay at home. I hope to travel soon!
    How are you? Thanks a lot for your comment and for following me, I want to write more again.
    TTYL, ciao!
