I flew from Sweden to Brussels Charleroi, and was picked up by Marie, who had been a WWOOFer on my farm some 5 years ago. This is the street where she lives with her partner Denis and their two kids

Despite all my years of travelling, as an Australian, I still get a kick out of seeing road signs to another country

Aude the knight

Aude and Jean were learning about knights and princesses at day care. Aude decided she wanted to be a knight, and had this costume which also has a shield and sword. Jean decided he wanted to be a princess and got that, complete with pointy princess hat. Otherwise he likes tractors and steam engines, but I think it's great that no one found his costume choice a problem

I love bumblebees - their huge buzzy fluffiness - and have been delighted to see so many around. Hard to photograph. These were in Denis' parents' garden in Roy.

This is a very Belgian thing to me. Never saw this in the Netherlands. You see Christ on the Cross in all sorts of unexpected places in villages and in the countryside. Roy, Luxemburg province
